a Royal Visit

Was scheduled this week in the little market town of Hitchin where I live. The Queen was popping by as part of her Diamond Jubilee Tour to present an award to the volunteers at the British School. Wilshere-Dacre, the school I am a governor, was privileged, to not only have a select few children dressed in victorian clothes and form park of the British School presentation, but was also in pole position the barriers.
There was LOADS of this
  and some rousing singing of Jerusalem with a fab choir and band
and you can just spot her in lilac
and she walked closer
chatting as she goes
and my fave photo of the pupils and too
Have to say she looked so young and elegant, hard to believe her age really. It was a fabulous day full cheers and red white and blue flags so patriotic felt good to be in town :) Plus THE SUN SHONE!!!


As it did the day before when we took some children as part of Kids Out 2012 to Whipsnade Zoo 
Finally a LO - which came together very quickly
