YOUNGSTERS from Morley Primary School had a day to remember when they met the Queen during her visit to Norwich on Tuesday.
The Royal visitor and the Duke of Edinburgh met the children in the education room of the new Norwich Cathedral hostry and refectory.
The Queen stopped to admire the work of the children, who were working on pictures of Noah and the flood.
Teacher Teresa Doggett said the names of 20 children had been picked out of a hat at random. 'We have talked a little about the visit in school and they have all been so excited,' she said.
Ryan Taaffe-Fowle, eight, was able to show the Queen the drawing he had been working on.
He said: 'To see her is a once-in-a- lifetime chance. I was almost at the end of a picture of the flood and she said she liked my rainbow and asked if I had the colours in the right order, which I checked afterwards and I did.'
