A RIGHT royal good time was had at Hagbourne Primary School near Didcot, as pupils helped commemorate an historic moment in history.

The day-long festivities began with the 30 youngsters performing a 20-minute Tudor play in French, dressed in full Tudor costume.

During the play the eight and nine-year-olds re-enacted for parents and guests the extravagant royal meeting between King Francois I of France and King Henry VIII of England on the Field of the Cloth of Gold in 1520.

Afterwards, pupils undertook French language activities before settling down to a banquet of ragout of beef with green beans and carrots in the school hall.

French teacher Pippa Jacobs said: "The children could not believe how much confidence they had got through learning the lines."
