Chris Foster received his MBE on the morning of Friday 4th April from Prince Charles in the ballroom at Buckingham Palace. The ceremony lasted two hours and Chris’ two children, Rosie and Matthew, who attend Vane Road School, were there to witness their Dad receive his award which they both thought was fantastic.
Mr Foster, who works at Mowden Hall in Darlington was awarded the MBE for services to Education and the Community in Durham.
The following day Rosie and Matthew attended another ceremony in Brighton to see their Mum, Louise Foster, graduate and receive her BA (Hons) in History from the Open University.
