The circle with diameter AB\, AB \, intersects altitude CC\, CC' \, and its extension at points M\, M \, and N\, N \,, and the circle with diameter AC\, AC \, intersects altitude BB\, BB' \, and its extensions at P\, P \, and Q\, Q \,. Prove that the points M,N,P,Q\, M, N, P, Q \, lie on a common circle.
