On Thursday 12 April, Queen Silvia of Sweden bought the year's first Mayflower pin, as is traditional. This year, Youssef and Alice from class 2–3 C at Barkarby School in Stockholm had the honour of selling the first Mayflower pin to the Queen. Majblomman (Mayflower) is Sweden's largest children's charity. The organisation works to improve the lives of children, and to tackle child poverty in Sweden. Queen Silvia is Majblomman's highest patron and buys the first Mayflower every year. |
