Princess Anne Returns To Jersey

Princess Anne has officially opened Les Quennevais School, the Strive sports training centre, and the butterfly enclosure at Jersey Zoo.

Her Royal Highness also went to a memorial service at St Saviour's Church and presented service medals to members of the Jersey Field Squadron.

The new Les Quennevais school welcomed its first students back in September.

It was officially opened today in front of rows of schoolchildren waving Jersey and UK flags.

The £9million high-performance Strive training facility opened its doors last month. The British and Irish Lions have been training there in recent days as part of preparations for their tour of South Africa.

It was the Princess Royal's first visit to Jersey since 2019, when she toured Jersey College for Girls and had a picnic with students.
