The Queen writes to Dewsbury school children to thank them for their kindness
Her Majesty wrote to the youngsters at Boothroyd Primary Academy to thank them for sending her a photo of scarecrows of her and Prince Philip which they had made for a competition run by nearby care home Ashworth Grange earlier in the year, as well as a sympathy card following the death of the Duke of Edinburgh.
In her letter, the Queen thanked the children for their kind thoughts.
