Performance NotesWellington College will be putting on a pageant to celebrate their 150th anniversary. The event will feature musical, theatrical and orchestral performances from the school's students to celebrate the history, achievements and work of the three schools which form their organisation; Wellington College, Wellington College Academy and the newly opened school by HRH the Duke of York in Tianjin, China, late last year.

Wellington College is one of the top public schools of the country founded by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert 150 years ago to honour the Duke of Wellington. Putting on their event at the RAH will further link the history of that period and the friendship between the Duke of Wellington and Prince Albert.

HRH The Duke of Kent attended as President of Wellington College and was accompanied by the Duke of Wellington.

The event was filmed by the promoter for archive purposes.
