On Friday, a group of Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award winning Alumnae gathered at Buckingham Palace for a belated celebration of the award they completed while still at Putney.

Even the spectacular rain couldn’t dampen spirits. Miss Katze and Mrs Jackson joined the students who are all now in their final year of university, to celebrate their awards in the company of Prince Edward.

Many congratulations to (from left to right) Daphne Sarkany, Meera Robins, Jennifer De Groot, Ravisha Singh, Isabella Cutler, Natasha Thomas and Jenna Chapman.
