Pupils from Muckamore Pre-School and Abbots Cross Primary School, along with Mayor of Antrim and Newtownabbey, Cllr Billy Webb marked Her Majesty’s momentous milestone by ‘planting trees for the Jubilee.’
The Mayor said: “Planting a tree for the Jubilee is a wonderful way for our young people to remember the Queen’s 70th year on the throne. It’s a step closer towards our pledge of planting one million trees across the borough.”
