Despite the inclement weather, schools welcomed parents and guardians to join in an array of colourful events including tea parties, picnics, a talent show and royal themed activities.
Many of the children arrived dressed in national colours, while Union Jacks and red, white and blue balloons and bunting decorated the city’s school buildings.
