Rebecca Houghton-Knapp, from the Brighton Road store, said: “Due to current Covid restrictions, we had to deliver the girls’ prize to them during our normal rounds rather than have a special prize-giving presentation.
“But they were thrilled to receive their goodies from our driver, Cameron Wallis.”
