The event, which was attended by both the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, was held at Newmarket’s July Course and celebrated the best of Cambridgeshire - whilst also commemorating Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

Pupils from St Mary’s Junior School’s choir took to the stage twice in the afternoon to perform five songs, including a special Jubilee song composed by Sir Richard Stilgoe.

Headmistress Charlotte Avery said: "The whole of the Junior School was a buzz of excitement knowing that our choir was going to sing the special Cambridgeshire County Day Jubilee song and they did a fantastic job!

"It was a memorable day celebrating the best of Cambridgeshire and we were truly honoured to be a part of it. Our girls gave it their all and we are very proud of them."
