The pupils at Heacham Infants, one of 11 schools within the West Norfolk Academies Trust, dressed as royalty to mark the occasion, wearing crowns they had made themselves, and which were later put on display in St Mary’s Church in Heacham.

The celebratory meal, which took part in the school’s specially decorated canteen, included traditional party fare, such as sandwiches, sausage rolls, scones with cream and jam and a fruit platter.
