PUPILS at St Anne's Preparatory School will gather with crowds to meet the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh tomorrow (May 6) when they visit Chelmsford.
The royal couple will be at the city's cathedral for a service in the morning to mark the centenary year of the diocese of Chelmsford, before moving onto Felsted School in the afternoon, which is celebrating its 450th anniversary.
The New London Road-based prep school's geography co-ordinator Jessica Butterworth told the Chronicle on Monday: "I saw the Queen back in 1977 when my school went along to the train station. Now I'm just really excited to share it with the children and I hope it will give them some memories.
"I think the children have seen all the pictures of William and Kate in Australia and thought it was a long way away, but now they are all excited that it will happen here."
