RPRA General Manager, Stewart Wardrop, visited Endon Hall Primary School in Stoke-on-Trent to talk about pigeons, and in particular their role in World War II, which the pupils are studying.

His presentation included a slide show on pigeon history, an explanation of their contribution to the war – supported by props, including a pigeon parachute – and the opportunity to handle live pigeons, along with lots of interesting facts about them.

Teacher Jane Harrison told us “the kids loved it!”.
