Children at the Isle of Wight's Nettlestone Primary school have been celebrating the Queen's Jubilee - by wearing homemade crowns and reading a very special letter, sent to them by The Queen's lady-in-waiting.
In February, the youngsters spent a day taking part in themed activities, learning the first verse of the the National Anthem and making congratulations cards.
Year 2 teacher, Laura Feist, sent them off to Buckingham Palace.
A few weeks later, they received a letter back, on behalf of The Queen, along with a Jubilee card and photos.

What did The Queen's message to the Isle of Wight children say?
The lady-in-waiting's message read: "To the pupils at Nettlestone Primary School. The Queen wishes me to write and thank you for the splendid cards, which you sent to Her Majesty on the occasion of her Platinum Jubilee.
"The Queen was glad to hear from you. Although unable to reply to you personally, Her Majesty greatly appreciated the nice things you said.
"I am to thank you again for your messages of good wishes to The Queen in this, her Platinum Jubilee."
Mrs Feist said: "The children were thrilled to have a letter thanking them for their cards.
"We really didn’t expect to receive anything back but it was amazing for the children to receive the letter and Jubilee card.
"We have framed them both and put them on display in our classroom."
