Eagle Radio Needs Schools To Help Create A Royal Gift

Eagle Radio is embarking on a project to bring together all the primary and prep school children of Surrey and Hampshire in celebrating the birth of the new Royal baby.

Guildford based station Eagle Radio has announced plans to create a patchwork quilt to deliver to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in July.

The aim of the project is to unite schools across Surrey and Hampshire, with every patch representing a school within the counties.

Eagle Radio is keen to get as many schools as possible involved and is inviting each school to design and create a patch to send to the station.

As each patch is sent, Eagle Radio will stitch the pieces together to create a patchwork quilt, so that the final product will be personal and represent each participating school.

Yasmin Bodalbhai, breakfast news presenter at Eagle Radio, is delighted to be leading the project. She said, “The project’s already created a bit of a stir – with people like Kirstie Allsopp telling us what a great idea they think it is!

Kirstie told us “when you have a child you get very sentimental about the things you get when they’re little. And even when they’ve outgrown them you still have them hanging around the house. So we hope this is something the royal couple will treasure for a long time.”

There’s still time to get involved with this exciting venture; but be sure to admit any patchwork squares by Wednesday 19th June so the staff at Eagle Radio have time to assemble the quilt.
