Day 4 - Our final stop was Westminster Abbey, where we visited the tombs of medieval and Tudor monarchs and explored how Henry VII used the Abbey to consolidate the position of the Tudor dynasty.

Day 4 - up and out early on our final day for a tour of the Houses of Parliament, where we were greeted by our MP @AJonesMP and learned so much about the history and functions of the Palace of Westminster from our fabulous guides.

#TRIPlive - our students at Harrogate Grammar School really enjoyed talking to @campbellclaret this afternoon! What one piece of advice would each of you give to young people who want to affect change? @HarrogateGS

@albertj8635 @mg_cordelle @HarrogateGS Brilliant - a welcome blast from the past ☺️ We’re so glad you still have the photo - we couldn’t track it down before Frank humoured us by recreating it. He’s so patient 😂

Henry you were amazing, a brilliant quiz! Also, @richardosman has just announced his departure, so…

After several dubious guest DJ sets from the students and a superb quiz from Quizmaster Henry, the trip is almost over 😢 We’re due back at @HarrogateGS just before 7pm.

@PeteHJ It’s been a pleasure! Ms Hooper, Miss Devey, Mr Clarke, Mr Kempton and Mrs Chesworth have had a whale of a time. We feel fortunate and privileged to work with such delightful young people.

A bit less silliness from Mr Cockerell’s class who enjoyed their lunch in the sunshine! Thanks to the marvelous staff and amazing students who made this such a great trip @HarrogateGS @thackraymuseum

Strangely, it looks like Patient Zach was not phased by his leg amputation! Surgeon Ben’s speed and dexterity must have helped, wearing his bloodied apron to show his vast experience. Y11 also ‘enjoyed’ immersing themselves in the sights (and smells) of Disease Street…
