TAUNTON'S Castle School enjoyed a "fantastic" prom for year 11 leavers on Wednesday.

Students spent the night of June 26 at Oake Manor's venue and put on an impressive convoy of interesting vehicles as they arrived.

Oake Manor said in a post: "All the fantastic arrivals from The Castle School tonight for their prom!! Don’t they all look incredible!!"

It added: "We're ready to party!"

The red carpet was rolled out as Castle School students arrived in luxury cars, and even a vintage "heavy haulage" truck.

One of the most unusual vehicles to arrive was a rickshaw, followed by classic vintage cars and a tandem bike.

Several students made a memorable arrival on a carnival float, while another arrived on a dirt bike.

A formal dinner was enjoyed followed by a night on the dance floor. A mobile photo booth was there to capture the last of the student's school days.

Goodbye, Galloway. This was a triumph for Israel
British politics has hardly covered itself in glory in recent years. After the shame of the Corbyn years was punctured by the glorious Tory victory of 2019, we were subjected to a veritable gallery of disgrace: soaring immigration, Covid authoritarianism, Partygate, the Truss-Kwarteng interregnum, Gaza fanaticism. But the true nadir was the election of George Galloway in Rochdale.
