I met The King last week (I might have mentioned it once or twice). The council photographer just sent me this lovely photo - His Majesty was obviously very happy to meet me! Such a wonderful day and we have the lovely plaque he unveiled to celebrate 10 years of @Child_leeds

The message from @Child_Leeds More #playstreets please!!
