A school has marked the historic occasion a Tudor Queen attended its site.

King's School in Rochester has been celebrating the 450th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth I visiting Satis House - a property now used by the institution in Boley Hill.

Satis House was the home of former Rochester MP Richard Watts in the 16th century.

On September 21, 1573 he welcomed Queen Elizabeth I to the property, and, when asked to comment on her stay, she replied "satis" - the Latin word for enough.

To mark the anniversary the school hosted an event, inviting Medway councillors, neighbours, Rochester’s town crier and current and former pupils.

The town crier gave a speech before the unveiling of a plaque. Guests enjoyed a traditional tea accompanied by Queen Elizabeth I's favourite dessert, lemon syllabub.

Principal of King's, Ben Charles, said honouring a date so long ago only highlights the school's rich history.

He explained: "For a school founded in 604 AD, celebrating a 450th anniversary may seem young, but it is a testament to the enduring legacy of our school.

“King's School, with its deep historical roots, picturesque location in the heart of Rochester and vital role in our community, stands as a truly unique institution.

"As we commemorate this milestone, let us look forward to celebrating the grand occasion of our 500th anniversary in the years to come."

The school's head of girls boarding, Elizabeth Hanson, read a poem adapted from Bob Perks 'I Wish' during the morning’s chapel service at Rochester Cathedral.

Founded in 604 AD, King's is the second oldest school in the world.
