The end of year project sees 380 students transform the school into a working film set. This year’s short film, Melomania, featured a dystopian Steampunk submarine and a mysterious dock house, all built and filmed by these talented young people.

The Queen and Harrison Machin, 5, plant the final poppies in an installation at the Tower of London to mark 80 years since the end of the Second World War. This act of Remembrance saw Her Majesty representing all those who served the Nation, with Harrison planting his poppy on behalf of the younger generation.

‘The Tower Remembers’ installation recalls the sacrifice and resilience of the wartime generation and will stand as a reminder of the long-lasting impact of conflict.

The Tower, which was itself bombed during the Blitz, will display nearly 30,000 ceramic poppies on the lawn to mark the year of Remembrance.

Last week at Clarence House, The Queen sat down with veteran Douglas Cracknell to hear about his memories of VE Day.

🇬🇧 This evening, The King and Queen will join veterans at a celebratory concert at Horse Guards Parade to conclude.

“The Household Cavalry is renowned worldwide for the splendours of all those unique ceremonies at the heart of the nation, and today, seeing you all on parade here, I can see you continue to represent the very best of that ceremonial brilliance.”

The King addressed troops today during the Presentation of New Standards to The Life Guards and The Blues and Royals.

The King, as Colonel in Chief of the Household Cavalry, and The Princess Royal, as Colonel of The Blues and Royals, inspected the Parade at Windsor Castle, before the Standards were presented.

The Standards symbolise the Cavalry Squadrons’ history, achievements and identity, and are held in the highest reverence.

🇬🇧🌳🇸🇪 In the sunny grounds of Windsor Castle, The King and Queen were joined by King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden in planting a Swedish oak (Quercus robur) tree to celebrate Their Majesties’ Coronation.

The tree was gifted by The King of Sweden from the Royal Nursery at Solliden Palace, the Swedish Royal Family’s summer residence.

During the planting, The King of Sweden used a spade first used by his great grandfather King Gustaf V in 1908 when he planted an oak tree at Windsor with King Edward VII. 🪏
