A former College of West Anglia Isle Campus student came face to face with royalty after coming second in a prestigious nationwide motor vehicle skills competition.
Callum Johnson, of Wisbech, was runner-up in the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) awards’ outstanding technical student - paint category.
He was presented with a certificate by Prince Michael of Kent at a ceremony at Fanshaws conference centre, Hertfordshire.
The awards saw 90,000 students competing for the different engineering accolades.
Earlier this year the 18-year-old, who works in one of the town’s garages, came fourth in the Worldskills awards in the vehicle painting category.
Bob Whalley, his lecturer and mentor at the college, said Mr Johnson’s award was a huge achievement with so many students competing for the honours.
Mr Johnson praised his former tutor and the college at Wisbech.
He said: “He and the college helped me to achieve so much.”
