School bursar Karen Higham said: “Having the Mayor of Wyre visit the school was quite a big occasion at St Mary’s.
"The mayor spent the afternoon in all the classes, getting to know the children.
"They asked a lot of interesting questions, including ‘Are you the Queen?’, ‘What does a mayor have to eat?’ and ‘Do you wear those robes all the time?’.
"She told that she didn’t go to bed in them!”

Hide AdCoun Kay said the best thing about being the mayor was having the opportunity to meet all kinds of people, young and old, across the wide borough of Wyre.
She said she particularly enjoyed meeting children and was fascinated with the sort of questions they often asked.
“I really enjoyed my visit to St Mary’s, it’s a beautiful school and those children are lovely.
"I had to smile when one little child asked if I was the Queen!
“That’s one of the abiding memories I’ll take with me when I step down.”
