Gutted not to be there. Poorly 4yo prevented it - glad it was a good day.

A brilliant ambassador for us all 🌞.
@annafrancisart 😅😅 I did ask a staff member if we could play sardines before we left but she politely said no! . Great experience and a great opportunity to share the incredible work in our city but i did reiterate investment is needed!.
