“We received over 300 fantastic designs from schools across the constituency. It was wonderful to see the creativity and talent of our young people.
“Choosing the winner was no easy task, as all the entries were exceptional, but Bruce’s design truly captured the essence of Christmas in our community.
“When I met Bruce, he was delighted to know that his card would be shared with so many people across the Livingston Constituency. We even joked that he might want to enter again next year!
“I would like to thank all the schools and their pupils and teachers for their incredible work. As parents, we can all take pride in the amazing efforts of our children.”
