FYA members in Royal Wedding souvenir album
Posted in Royal Wedding on 27. May, 2011
Members of Fitzrovia Youth in Action have appeared in a recent Royal Wedding souvenir album pictured alongside Princes William and Harry.
The photographs were taken back in 2004 when FYA members were invited to run alongside both princes in the Sport Relief One Mile Run. Cassim Schott, one of the members who took part said; ‘While standing in a queue at Waitrose, I was flicking through this magazine and could not believe it when I saw a photo of myself with Prince Harry as I opened the magazine.

When we took part in the Sport Relief event we knew that William and Harry and other celebrities would be there but we had no idea we were going to be part of a small group that were actually allowed to get close to them.’
