A Royal Day for Merton
 The Queen made her first trip to Mitcham to visit St Mark’s Church of England Academy as part of this year's Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
Many local residents, businesses and schools lined the streets to get a glimpse of her Majesty. Charlene Beard, Merton Means Business information officer said, “It was a rare treat to have the Queen visit our borough, in particular Mitcham. It brought huge excitement to the streets with much of the local community out to support and see their Queen.”
