St Raphael’s Special School in Celbridge has put on a huge celebration today for Proclamation Day.

Students, parents and the local community have come together to sing the national anthem, and to read out their own ‘Proclamation for a New Generation’.

10 year old Mary is wearing her Grandad's medal to celebrate Proclamation Day.
