Family funeral firm, A.W. Lymn The Family Funeral Service, gifted a royal experience like no other to the winner of its Travel like His Majesty competition, which asked primary school-aged children from across the region to create their best crown drawings and designs.

The contest was launched in honour of King Charles III's coronation and saw more than 50 beautiful entries submitted from across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.
