Peter Kite OBE, honorary secretary of South Holland Duke of Edinburgh’s Awards Committee, said: “It went exceptionally well and one of the great things was that it was first time in a long time that students from some of the schools had received awards.
“Lots of parents and other family members attended, candidates gave accounts of what they did and Geoff gave quite an inspiring speech.”
