HAPPY 90TH BIRTHDAY TO HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II KEW COLLEGE AND THE QUEEN’S SCHOOL STREET PARTY A very special day! The Kew College and Queen’s School community joined forces to celebrate Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s official 90th birthday in an exceptional ‘Street Party’. The bunting was out in force and the street was adorned in glorious red, white and blue for the occasion. The children – all 700 of them – ate lunch together along the length of Cumberland Road, devouring the cake provided by Queen’s school and the delicious strawberries and blueberries from KCF. The atmosphere was one of sheer happiness and enjoyment as we honoured the Queen who is someone very special in our national identity. Zac Goldsmith officially opened the party to rapturous applause, followed by glorious renditions of songs from the nineties and culminating in a rousing version of the National Anthem. It was an absolute pleasure to see children from both schools interacting and enjoying each other’s company whilst engaged in numerous exciting activities. 94
