I was delighted with the number of entries I received for my Coronation Card Competition. Although there were lots of brilliant designs, it was Ellie Rakela from The Warriner School's colourful painting of the St Edward’s Crown that really caught my eye. Ellie’s design features on the front of the card I sent to His Majesty The King on behalf of the people of North Oxfordshire.
I was pleased to surprise Ellie at school on Thursday with some Coronation-themed goodies and invited her to come and visit me in Parliament with her family over the summer.
I would like to thank all those who took the time to send me their designs. I’m always so impressed by how creative local school children are. A special mention goes to Laura Simmons from Glory Farm Primary School who is my runner-up for her beautiful sketch of our local area.
