St Mary's Primary School in Radstock is celebrating a big win for one of their pupils whose design was picked by Mayor Dan Norris in his annual Christmas card competition.

Thousands of West of England youngsters got arty in the Mayor's Christmas contest to create some fantastic festive drawings.

After carefully judging thousands of entries, seven-year-old Theo Mead's design of a Christmas tree saw off stiff competition to feature on Mr Norris's final card which is now being sent to people and organisations right across the West of England and the UK - including to King Charles III over in Buckingham Palace.

Mr Norris, who presented a signed copy of the Christmas card this week at Theo's school nativity, said: "With all the amazing entries, my office looks like a winter wonderland right now! 

"Well done to everyone who took part - we really do have some talented youngsters in the West. It was wonderful to see all their brilliant drawings and festive pictures.

"I'm sure everyone who sees it is going to love Theo's design as much as I did!"
