LUNCHTIME supervisor Elsie Faulkner is looking forward to spoiling herself after 36 years service to children at an Old Hill school.

Staff and pupils at Reddal Hill Primary School said a fond farewell to the much-loved 69-year-old as they broke up for half term last Friday.

Her lifelong friend and school business manager Jean Potter said she would be greatly missed by the children and adults at Reddal Hill.

“Her kind, caring nature will be hard to replace,” she added.

Mrs Faulkner said: “'In my retirement I am going to relax, have lots of holidays and eat out regularly.”
