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.

At St Clement’s High a time capsule was created which included recordings of students talking about their lives to add a personal touch to the historic event.

Smithdon students recreated the King’s official cypher on the school playing field using their uniform to provide the red, white and blue for an image captured by a drone.

West Lynn children played croquet and staged a royal treasure hunt and street party and Walpole Cross Keys pupils got creative and designed collages and stamps with a royal theme.
