Beverley Brown, 44, assistant headteacher at Kender Primary School, said: “We had been waiting for the session to start and the children were very excited. As we started to move it started to pour and we didn’t know what to do. Prince William gallantly held an umbrella over an adult and children. Princess Kate was in amongst us and said ‘let them go in’ and ‘let’s take them inside, it’s pouring.’”
