Thousands of children enjoyed a traditional Christmas treat with their friends to mark the end of a school year like no other.
Businesses across Cumbria stepped forward to support the festive initiative to provide a free lunch with all the trimmings, hats and crackers for children at the 11 schools within Cumbria Education Trust.
It meant a special coming together for children aged three to 18 at the end of a year disrupted by coronavirus.
Schools were closed to all apart from key worker children in March, partially reopened in June and classes have been taught in isolated year bubbles since the full return in September.
