LIFE was a beach for youngsters as they enjoyed the sun for a beach-themed fete.

St Mary’s Primary School, in Queen’s Avenue, Bicester, held its annual summer fete on Saturday.

Among those enjoying the stalls, activities and games was Rachel Lawrence, 10, and Rebecca Conway, nine.

Rachel’s mum Sally Lawrence, who is from Bicester, said: “We tried everything.

“We had a go on the tombolas, we entered the competitions that were there and just had a sociable time.

“It was a brilliant afternoon out.”
