CHILDREN beat off all competition to create the most impressive jubilee shop window display in Stourport town centre.

Wilden All Saints First School in Stourport dressed up Oxfam's shop window in the High Street which wowed the judges and won the school a £100 cheque for a charity of its choice. Stourport Oxfam shop manager Pauline Mothersdale is pictured with the throne created by schoolchildren in the shop window.

Fourteen shops and businesses entered the contest, sponsored by Stourport Business Association, to create the most colourful and patriotic display.

Stourport mayor Don Giles and mayoress Jean Giles judged it on Friday and presented sparkling wine to the runners-up - High Street electrical shop HJ Beard, florist Flower Cellar and the Black Star pub, also on the High Street.

"Wilden All Saints First School gave us a donation for Bangladesh earlier this year and we said if the children would like to display their work any time we'd be happy to accommodate that," explained shop manager Pauline Mothersdale, 62.

She added: "It's absolutely great. All kinds of stuff has been made by the children, including a throne and a corgi with a huge dog collar round its neck. And they've written poems and drawn pictures.

"I think the children have been absolutely delighted by it and the parents have been coming down to see what they've been doing.

"Altogether, it's been wonderful."

The school decided to split the £100 equally between Oxfam and Acorn Children's Hospice Trust, which is appealing for money to build a hospice in Worcester.
