-

Burnham-On-Sea’s Mayor joined in Jubilee celebrations at a school in the town on Tuesday (May 29th) when he planted a special tree.

Cllr Ken Smout visited St Andrew’s School with the Town Council’s Jubilee Committee Chairman, Cllr Neville Jones, to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.

The Mayor planted a weeping cherry tree and presented commemorative Jubilee mugs to all the school’s pupils at an assembly attended by the whole school and staff. He also judged the school’s Jubilee crown-making competition.

Gavin Morris, Headteacher of St Andrew’s, said everyone was thrilled by his visit, adding: “It was an honour and a privilege to welcome the Mayor and Councillor Jones to our school. Their visit has provided everyone with a lasting memory of this special occasion.”
