Good afternoon. The lunch-time news today was read by John Howard. The Prime Minister has been visited by a primary school in Ipswich where she was met by the children and their teachers. She opened a new sports centre that was built with money raised by the parents and teachers. Another £20,000 is needed to finish the swimming pool, so more money raising activities will be organized for the summer months. Earlier today a group of pensioners was involved in an accident when their coach was hit by a lorry. The pensioners were helped by local people until ambulances arrived. Most of the passengers were allowed to go home immediately, but those with more serious injuries will be taken to Norwich Central Hospital later today. Witnesses say that the lorry was driven too fast.
