A housebuilder challenged children at a school in Littleport to create a drawing fit for a king.

Bovis Homes, which is building properties at its Quantum Fields location off Grange Lane in the village, organised a drawing competition for Year 3 pupils at nearby Millfield Primary School to mark the coronation of King Charles III.

The winning pupil, Barley Rose, was presented with an annual family pass for the National Trust.

Wendy Lee, headteacher at Millfield Primary School, said: “Participating in this competition has encouraged us to think about how important this occasion is and how we are playing a special part in history."

Laura Thomas, sales manager at Quantum Fields, said: “We thought that the coronation of King Charles is the perfect opportunity to give the children the chance to depict how they view this momentous occasion in our nation’s history.

“We hope the National Trust pass will bring joy to the winner and their family who will be able to enjoy free visits to some fabulous buildings and gardens."
