The Reception Class at St Leonard's CE Primary School, Padiham, hosted their own mock wedding in honour of the royal bride and groom.

The Royal Wedding of Reception included a ceremony, exchange of vows, signing of the register and a sit-down meal with speeches from the best man.

Their teachers, Miss Rachel Cavanagh and Miss Ksenia Dewhurst, said: "Our inspiration for hosting the event was to help pupils understand the celebration of marriage and the Royal Family.

"We aim to provide children with quality real-life experiences to help them understand the world around them and all of the staff involved are proud of the pupils who took part."
