THE Bishop of Hereford's Bluecoat School invited a group of German students to visit the county as part of an exchange programme.

Pupils from the Staatliche Regelschule region of the former East Germany toured around Herefordshire from May 10 to May 18.

The Hereford students will make the return visit to Germany in October on what is hoped will be a linguistically valuable and spiritually uplifting trip.
