Youngsters at Cullingworth Primary School have been drinking in the Queen's Golden Jubilee celebrations thanks to the generosity of villagers.

Each of the 240 children at the school were presented with a free mug that has been specially made to commemorate jubilee celebrations in Cullingworth.

The china mugs, made by a Staffordshire pottery, were presented to pupils by jubilee committee members John Brigg and Councillor Ken Batchelor, vice chairman of the parish council.

The sale of the limited edition mugs around the village and generous donations from residents, local businesses and Bradford council enabled the committee to buy the mugs for the youngsters.

Mr Brigg said: "When we set the committee up to celebrate the jubilee we originally thought of presenting some spoons to the children.

"We then had the idea of presenting the mugs although we didn't think we would have sufficient financial backing, but as time went on we have received the help and support necessary.

"We are hoping that in years to come the mugs will become collectors items."

Head teacher Chris Irelan-Bunting told pupils: "These two gentlemen have put a lot of time and effort to give you something to keep and remember so that you will remember the jubilee when you are 50 and 60."

Villagers in Cullingworth lined Station Road on Bank Holiday Monday for a street party to celebrate the Jubilee.
