It certainly was a meal fit for a King served up at Doncaster’s historic Mansion House as part of the city status celebrations.

Students from Doncaster College created a luxurious buffet for guests to tuck into – and a few students even had the chance to chat with King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla ahead of a reception with local community groups.

A Doncaster College spokesman said: “They provided delicious food for the event and a few of our students and staff got the opportunity to speak with the King.

“We are proud of all the hard work they put in and we know this will be an experience they will never forget.”
