Easter bonnets on parade

Youngsters from a Telford school invited elderly residents to come and join them for their Easter festivities this week.

It was the first time the school had put on the event and they were helped by members of Age Concern.

Allyson Brown, headteacher, said: “Everyone enjoyed the event and the school is hoping to build on these links in future. It was a wonderful opportunity for pupils and residents to meet and for the children to parade their wonderful Easter bonnets.”
