A FORMER teacher at a school in Taunton met up with Princes William and Harry and Kate after running the London Marathon yesterday (Sunday).

The Royals congratulated Rhian Burke after completing the 26-mile course.

Mrs Burke, who used to teach PE at Queen's College, ran in support of their Heads Together mental health campaign encouraging people to speak out about their psychological problems.

Tragedy struck for Mrs Burke in February 2012 when her one-year-old son George died suddenly.

Her grief-stricken husband, Paul, who had been a student at Queen's, then took his own life five days later.
