The Queen visited hundreds, if not thousands, of schools over the years - but one visit really sticks out. Now the former headteacher has shared his accout of the visit - and her very special request after spotting a photograph of her mother.
Chris Watts, 68, was headteacher at North Prospect Primary School for 16 years and recalled the visit in 1999 following Her Majesty's death on September 8, Plymouth Live reported.
Ahead of the big day, staff were taught how to greet the monarch, and the correct way of addressing her. But on the big day, Mr Watts said the Queen's relaxed manner was "infectious, prompting pupils to speak "to her like they had known her for a long time".
