FIFA and Premier League official Craig Pawson stopped by in the Fenland town as part of the Peterborough Young Referee’s Day.

Organiser, Robert Windle, said: “This was an accumulation of five weeks worth of work within the school and for Craig to support our day with the children.
“Every child also received a signed programme for their personal collection.”
