Our weekend of celebrations for the Queen's 90th birthday got off to a great start today when the children of St James's School came to church for a special royal service of thanksgiving.
During the service we heard about
three things given to the Queen at her Coronation: a crown; anointing with oil; and 'the most precious thing that this world affords' - more precious, we told the children, than the Crown Jewels themselves - the Bible.
During the service, Sir Simon Hughes, chair of governors, Mrs Willis, our headteacher, and the Head Boy and Head Boy each received copies of the book T
he Servant Queen and the King She Serves.
Later we toured all the classrooms to distribute a copy to every child and to every member of staff.
At end of the service the children enthusiastically joined in with the 'special prayer that we sing for our Queen': the National Anthem, and then they really raised the roof as they gave three cheers for Her Majesty the Queen.
