The children from Wyetots Childcare made and sent Queen Elizabeth cards for her 90th birthday.

Last week they received a thank you letter and a card from one of the Queen’s ladies in waiting, who explained that Her Majesty had wished her to send a thank you on her behalf.

She added that due to the enormous amount of letters and messages she had received, it had only been possible very recently to send the group a reply.

On the Ross Gazette’s Facebook page, Jo Morris shared some images of the thank you card and letter from Balmoral Castle.
