The former Queensbury pupil set up the family run florist, The Daisy Chain, in Lowther Road, with her mum.

She said: “I felt proud that Keech asked me to design and make the posy.

“It was an honour to make something that was given to the Duchess of Cambridge.

“I was given a colour theme to use, purple, the colour of Keech. I looked at different flowers that are in season and thought about what would look good together.
