It was an unsinkable event of afternoon fun at a Wisbech school as children were treated to a first class Titanic tea.
Children at Peckover School boarded their very own afternoon tea party as part of learning about the tragic disaster.
Local guests including the Mayor and Mayoress of Wisbech, Peter and Janet Human, also donned their best outfits to dine with the children.
Cakes, scones, jam, cream and sandwiches with the crusts cut off were all served around the dinner table on Wednesday (March 20).
Pupils could choose to dress as either a First Class or Third Class passenger.

Kate Kendal, vice principal, said: “Children had to make and evaluate tiered cake stands before preparing an afternoon tea, which had to be eaten with their little pinkies in the air, of course.
“This is the sixth year we have held the afternoon tea for Year 6 and it is one of our highlights of the year.”
