The then Prime Minister Boris Johnson said: "The government is well aware of the impact that the pandemic has had on school pupils and is encouraged by what you have undertaken to brighten everyone's especially care home residents lives.

Their newly appointed majesties King Charles and Queen Camilla are saying "It is in the creative communities with children such as yourselves, that have kept us all going, during these difficult times, for which we are all extremely grateful".
