Young poets from a Glasgow primary school have impressed King Charles and Queen Camilla with their work.
Yara Tadfi, Devon Wyer and Joseph Quail, who are all in P7 at Bankhead Primary, won Glasgow City Council’s Coronation poetry contest with ‘Our Saviour’, an emotional and hard-hitting work highlighting the climate crisis and the need to fund the NHS.
The letter, from the Private Secretary’s office, continued: “The King and Queen wish me to pass on their warmest best wishes and congratulations once again to you and all of the pupils and staff at Bankhead Primary.”Pupils in primaries four to seven across the city were asked to submit verses on the theme: “If I were King/Queen for a day…” as part of the city’s celebrations to mark the Coronation on May 6.
“The future would be beautiful/The problems of the planet are real/ But together we can solve them/ With hope.”
