On the 28th of March, I was going to receive my Duke of Edinburgh's Bronze award. I didn't realize that Dougie,Mick, Pete and Ted were going to be there at my school. I walked into the assembly and they were there, suited and booted, even with the Standard!!!!!! I sat down knowing what was going to happen with my face glowing bright red. I sat as everyone received their awards. Then Doug and Mr Porter (Head of business at Bishop Foxes school) said they had a special award to make. Doug Allen spoke to the whole of my year, I was shocked and delighted at how they all listened in awe of the amazing man standing in front of them. Doug spoke to us as the next generation. All day long students were coming up to me full of praise and respect for the work I had done but also for the brave men of the PRA. In fact several of the boys and girls who are looking to join up after leaving school were honored to have listened and seen them all at our school. Doug presented me with my very own set of wings, these wings were his own and I wear them with pride.  I was so happy to have gotten my bronze award, after working so hard for it. I really want to finish my silver award and then my gold at college.  Thank you very much for all the support I wouldn't have done it without the help from my family, the PRA and especially Bridget whose idea to work with the PRA was brilliant.    Hollie xx
