VISITORS to Little Bumbles Pre-School near Tarporley were greeted to a sea of red, white and blue this week as children and staff celebrated the Coronation.

Earlier today, King Charles III was officially crowned at Westminster Abbey in a historic day for the country.

"The children have been exploring what a Coronation is and have produced lots of lovely crafts and art work such as flags, crowns and bunting. 

"The week ended by the children, their families and staff all meeting at Little Budworth play area for their very own Royal Picnic in the Park.
