Ten-year-old ballerina Ella collects the #CBE of her late grandmother, Jill Tookey, Founder of the National Youth Ballet, from The Prince of Wales at Buckingham Palace.

As founder and artistic director of the National Youth Ballet 29 years ago, where Ella now dances, Ms Tookey inspired and encouraged thousands of children to go on to have professional careers in dance and the arts.

After collecting her grandmother's #CBE, Ella said: "Granny was fun. And she was arty, and always happy," she said, adding: "I will remember her as a fun and amazing grandma." 📷 PA
