Royal visit to Lakeview School

THE Countess of Wessex has officially opened Bedford’s newest school.

HRH Sophie, Countess of Wessex, was at Lakeview School in The Wixams, where she was greeted by a crowd of flag-waving children.

She met with staff, as well as the architects who designed it, before officially opening the school at a special assembly.

The princess also met a number of pupils. One girl told her: “The princess is coming to my school”

Her Royal Highness replied: “I’ll let you into a secret, I am her!”

More will appear on the royal visit later today.
