An eight-year-old managed to catch the Queen’s eye with a photo of the Diamond Jubilee Party at her school.
Sophie Milton from Pyrgo Priory School in Settle Road, Harold Hill was holding a photograph from the party when the Queen stopped to talk to her.
Sophie said: “She stopped and asked me what the photo was of.
“I told her that it was from our Jubilee party and and she said it looked very nice- I was just really happy.”
Sophie was one of 400 students from her school to wave the Queen off as she left Drapers’ Academy in Settle Road, last Friday.
Teacher Fred Patten said: “It was very nice for the Queen to stop to talk to Sophie and I think it was the photo that caught her eye.”
