Her Majesty the Queen has sent her best wishes to a Milnthorpe dance school, which is staging a showcase event this weekend.
Jayne Mills, of Rigney Bank Ballet School, is holding her eighth production at Kendal Leisure Centre, entitled 'Best of Britain'.
The dancers have been training for six months for the performances and many of the costumes have been handmade for the dancers locally.
