A DINNER lady has hung up her apron for the last time after 30 years at a Bromsgrove school.

Pat Bradley has worked at St John's Middle School, in Watt Close, since 1973 and has looked after hundreds of pupils during their dinner times and in the playground.

Pat said: "I have children telling me I used to look after their mums and dads!

"I have so many happy memories here. It's such a happy school and I will miss all the children and the staff very much," she added.

Pat is planning to enjoy her retirement by spending more time with her grandchildren.

She was given flowers and cards from the staff and children.
