AN EVESHAM school kicked off the Royal Wedding celebrations for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle with an afternoon tea party.

Dressed in red, white and blue, reception children at St Andrew's CE School held ‘weddings’, hung bunting, designed flags, made crowns and enjoyed royal-themed lessons.

As well as learning about traditional Christian weddings, the children have learned about weddings from other cultures and religions.

At the royal tea party, pupils chatted about the Royal Wedding whilst enjoying a plethora of themed food and drink fit for ‘princes and princesses’, which was donated by the children’s parents and carers.

Andrea Bailey, headteacher said “It has been lovely to get into the spirit of celebration sweeping the nation, helping the children to understand history in the making and support their understating of the British Values of respect, tolerance and beliefs of all faiths and none.”
