The Queen's College Ball was a "great success" with one student arriving on a "motorised wheelbarrow".

Students from Queen's College, Trull Road, Taunton, enjoyed a meal and mocktails on the school lawn to celebrate the end of their exam period.

A spokesperson for Queen's College said: "The Year 11 Ball was a great success and a fitting end to the exam period.

"It was lovely to see so many parents at the start of the evening for the student's arrival and the rain even managed to stay away.

"The Year 11’s looked amazing in their outfits and there were some impressive vehicles making the trip down the school drive including a motorised wheelbarrow!

"A huge thank you to all the staff that helped create such a memorable evening."
