TWO Premiership football stars gave tips to children on beating the bullies.

Charlton Athletic players Herman Hreidarsson and Urik Gislason met children at an anti-bullying event yesterday.

The pair gave the youngsters advice on coping with bullying.

The children also talked with representatives from ChildLine and were taught rhymes by rapper Wax Lyrikal.

The conference, held at The Valley, was organised to coincide with the start of national anti-bullying week.

The event was attended by more than 100 children from Blackheath and Charlton primary schools and Thomas Tallis Secondary School in Kidbrooke.

Charlton Athletic community officer Natalie Weatherill said: "We were pleased to offer youngsters the chance to discuss ideas."
