The Queen was back in London today for a special TogetherWithPoetry recital 📖 and tea party 🫖 hosted for children and grandparents at Fielding Primary School.

I understand Her Majesty Queen Camilla is passionate about literacy. Like many people, I’m a fan of Lord Byron and many British poets. Can we bring #PoetryTogether this theme project to China (esp schools in Taicang) as well? 💌 Of course I like Chinese classical poetry too.

#Poetrytogether

Uniting elders and youngsters to write poetry on a theme - whether determined locally or aligning with the national one - brings joy, creativity and social cohesion to the forefront.

Let's do this in #Bristol !
