A right royal party
Children from Jewish schools across London were given a Chanukah gift as they celebrated the final hours of the festival with Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall last night.
The royal couple personally lit all eight candles of a menorah before the heir to the throne proclaimed the event at the Hendon Hall Hotel had also been a festive “treat” for them too.

Wishing everyone a happy Chanukah the Prince told those gathered, including several community leaders, that he thought he had just about managed to write the Hebrew letters on the driedl and now had a decent idea how to play at home.
The event, organised by Wolfson Hillel head, Sharon Margolis with Kerem head Rosalind Goulden also featured performances by the Rosh Pinah School dance troupe while pupils from two other schools relayed the story of the festival.
