The children of Hothfield Junior School at Silsden stepped out in celebration of the Queen's Golden Jubilee.

Friday lunchtime saw the pupils parading through the town where, as well as marking the special occasion, they managed to raise almost £70 for charity.

The children all made their own costumes, banners and flags, and among the marchers representing many different countries were Kings, Queens, cheerleaders, flutes and saxophones.

They carried collection buckets among the onlookers and the £66.72 they raised during the 15-minute parade will be given to Martin House children's hospice in Wetherby.

After the parade the procession made its way back to the school, where the children enjoyed a street party with dancing, singing and performances from the majorettes and the recorder group.

Head teacher Bill Bairstow said: "We wanted to allow the children to take part in the Jubilee celebrations.

"Although there was a lot of red, white and blue we tried to bring in as many other countries as we could, both of the Commonwealth and of the many other nationalities who live in Britain.

"The idea was to try to represent the diversity of the multicultural society in which we live today.

"We had a very successful day and everyone had a great time."
