Queen dons a vibrant yellow coat as she meets pupils at a North Lanarkshire school
The Queen looked lovely in lemon as she visited a school in North Lanarkshire to present awards to pupils on Friday.
Donning a vibrant yellow jacket complete with scallop detail, the royal, 93, put on a sunny display as she received a Gaelic welcome on her arrival at Greenfaulds high school..
Coordinating her look with a matching hat and a huge smile, Her Majesty appeared delighted to be handed a beautiful bouquet from a child.
She then met with the Lord Lieutenant of Dunbartonshire and Lanarkshire, before being invited to view an exhibition.
The high school was established in 1971 and is situated in the west of Cumbernauld, serving the surrounding areas of Greenfaulds, Ravenswood, Condorrat, Westfield, Eastfield, Balloch and parts of Seafar.
The school has recently moved into a brand new build which opened on the existing site in September 2016.
The outdoor facilities were completed in August 2017 and comprise multi-use sports pitches and an international standard athletics track.
The school currently holds 1400 pupils from first to sixth year drawn mainly from six associated primary schools.
Since the move in to its new building, it has developed an excellent partnership with Cumbernauld Amateur Athletics Club, which uses the sports facilities outwith school hours.
A significant number of young students attend the club and, as a result, several students have achieved national acclaim for their success in field and track events.
The Youth Philanthropy Initiative (YPI) sponsored by the Wood Foundation, is an integral part of the citizenship agenda in the school.
