John Paul College Year 13 student Danielle Cooper had the chance to meet a prince while commemorating the Battle of the Somme.
Danielle was one of the 10 New Zealand students chosen for the Young Ambassadors' tour, organised by the French Embassy.
The main commemoration of the New Zealand advance during the battle was held last week.
There was a dawn service at the New Zealand memorial in Longueval, attended by Gerry Brownlee and the official ceremony which was attended by Prince Charles.
This was held at Caterpillar Valley where there are many New Zealand graves.
