Chief Instructor Ken Pearsall's regular Tuesday evening class at the Polish Centre, Broadmeadow was interrupted recently by a visit from her Royal Highness Queen Elisibeth 11, (student John) after hearing Ken had turned 80. Without further ado Her Royal Highness presented Ken with an OBE (Over Bloomin' Eighty) medallion plus an official OBE certificate signed by "Father Time" and "Mother Nature".

    Royal Highness John is a Tuesday night student & went to a lot of trouble op shopping to get a suit, shoes and jewellery.
