A Royal Visit to Remember  

In 1988, St George's celebrated its Centenary with a very special visitor, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. 

The Junior School marked the occasion with a pageant, and the Queen was entertained with music, Scottish dancing, lace making, drama performances, art displays and a Duke of Edinburgh exhibition. She also graciously signed the Visitors' Book with the signature Elizabeth R. 

Excitement filled the air as girls lined the road from the bridge, proudly clutching paper flags and wearing their newly acquired Centenary badges. Arriving in her Royal Rolls-Royce and dressed in a striking aqua blue outfit, the Queen received a warm St George's welcome. 

Her final stop was the dining room, where she enjoyed afternoon tea and chatted with pupils, staff and members of Council. 

A truly unforgettable day in the history of St George's. To commemorate the visit, pupils wrote poems and shared their own accounts of the day's events, which were later included in The Chronicle, preserving their memories and excitement for future generations.
