Archbishop of Canterbury and Senior Prize Giving

The Royal Alexandra and Albert School in Reigate welcomed the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, to its 250th anniversary celebrations on Sunday 11th May 2008.

The Archbishop planted a Wellingtonia tree near the School Chapel in commemoration of his visit. He then attended a service of thanksgiving where he gave an address and presented prizes to pupils from the Senior School. He remained at the School until after lunch and took the time to meet many pupils, teachers and visitors to the School.

After the service, visitors were invited to view the art exhibition in Gatton Hall or see the Scouting activities display, prior to lunch in the Dining Hall. After lunch there was a dance display in the Performing Arts Centre. The traditional Old Gattonians v Staff football match completed the day's events.
