Ref. 27075-2CROWDS swooped on Holt Primary School on Saturday to see falcons, owls and kestrels take to the skies at their annual school fete.

A falconry display was the highlight of the afternoon, with a country dancing display and a variety of stalls keeping visitors entertained.

The fete was part of a busy year of fundraising by the Holt School Assoc-iation who raised more than £1,000 for the school on the day.

Deputy headteacher, Yvonne Brooke said: "The HSA has worked very hard this year and we are really thankful that they do all they do for the school."

Jo Hopkins, from the Holt Village Hall committee, said the birds had the children quite spellbound.

She said: "I don't think they could believe that the birds were not tied down flew off, and came back."
