Many congratulations to Camilla Byk MBE ( Forestier-Walker, 1991 Leaver) who has received her MBE from HRH The Princess Royal.
Here is Camilla's report from her trip to Winsor Castle!
"The official pic has arrived, and I was glad I wore a winter outfit as there was snow at Windsor Castle. If I was allowed, I would have taken every young person I have ever worked with to the castle with me, they all deserve recognition for their willingness to learn and get out of their comfort zones. Hat credit goes to dear friend Karen Walsh and supporter credits to my three daughters and husband for getting up early. I had an excellent debate/chat with the Princess Royal about the 'merits' or not of journalism as a career, why it is worth raising the voices of the under 25s, and it was certainly a day to remember. None of this would have happened without the incredible people who have been a part of, or supported Podium.me for the last 10 years, so thank you to all of you too, you know who you are. #journalism #MBE "
