Duke Of Edinburgh's Gold Awards Presented At Buckingham Palace
26 Sep
Back in the summer, a number of Old Princethorpians attended presentation ceremonies at Buckingham Palace to receive their Duke of Edinburgh's Gold Award.
They joined thousands of young people and their families celebrating their success.
The celebration events took place in May, when the recipients were hosted by the charity’s Patron, His Royal Highness, the Duke of Edinburgh, a Gold Award achiever himself. He spoke to them from the West Terrace Steps congratulating all who had completed the challenging award, commending them on their perseverance, creativity and resilience.
Completing your Gold Duke of Edinburgh takes real commitment and resolve and the skills developed along the way benefit both the individual and their local community.
Receiving their Duke of Edinburgh’s Gold Award in ceremonies this year were: OPs Jess Evans, Chris Lock, Natasha Thomas and Isy Williams, all Class of 2024, and Grace Darcy and Eve Read-Jones, both Class of 2025.
All of these young people showed dedication and perseverance and their final expedition to Buckingham Palace will have been a really wonderful reward.
