A leading church figure tucked into a festive feast with pupils at a Keighley school.

Archdeacon of Craven Malcolm Grundy joined youngsters, staff and governors at Lees Primary School for lunch.

Mr Grundy visited the school alongside the Rev Liz Cannon from neighbouring St James's Church, in Cross Roads. He said: "I spend a day around each parish and Mrs Cannon invited me to join her on a regular visit to the school.

"I have had a look around some of the classrooms and the work done on the building since the school reorganisation.

"It's the first time I've been to the school and I'm very impressed with the range of work on the walls, which shows there is a lot of good activities here."

Mrs Cannon, who was ordained as minister at St James's Church two years' ago, takes assemblies and runs an out of school club for pupils.
