A SCHOOL had a very memorable day when they crowned their very own 'king and queen' as part of their Coronation celebrations. 

On Friday, May 5, staff and children from Ysgol y Foryd made their way to Kinmel Bay Church for a special service led by Hannah Williams, acting headteacher.

During the service, 'King Bobby' and 'Queen Jessica' were crowned. 

The 'royals' pledged to support Nicola Rowlands, headteacher [who is currently on Welsh sabbatical], Mrs Williams and the school council to help keep children and adults safe in school and to "follow the Y Foryd values."
