On Saturday 5th January the Lord Lieutenant of
Cambridgeshire Mr Hugh Duberly presented letters of commendation to 20
young people from Cambridgeshire. The young people had all gained Gold
Duke of Edinburgh’s Awards during the last twelve months and their
achievements were recognised at a presentation hosted by the Lord
Lieutenant at Hinchingbrooke School in Huntingdon.
Award achievers, parents, leaders and distinguished guests attended the
presentation which was organised by the Cambridgeshire County Council
and supported by Cambridge City Council, East Cambridgeshire District
Council, South Cambridgeshire District Council and Huntingdon District
Council.
Guests were treated to speeches from some of the recipients which
highlighted some of the activities they had took part in and included a
trek up Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa and a residential project to help
orphans in India.
