A DORRIDGE Primary School pupil reached the final of the BBC 500 words competition.
Idrees made it to the final 50 out of 44,000 entries in the 5-7 years category for his story Vert, The Green Boy.
For making it to the final the year three pupil was invited to Buckingham Palace where he got to shake hands with Her Majesty The Queen and meet a host of other celebrities including Gladiator, Nitro.
Catherine Biddlecombe, English lead and Idrees’ class teacher, said: “What an incredible achievement! How fantastic that someone in our school made it to the top 50 from all of those stories entered.
“Well done Idrees, we are all extremely proud of you (and jealous that you’ve been inside Buckingham Palace with so many celebrities!).”
