Frome Rugby Football Club and its supporters - already on a high after the 1st XV secured promotion - had another reason to smile at the weekend.

For it's not every day you get a message of congratulations from a Beefeater - a ceremonial guardian of the Tower of London.

But that's exactly what happened on Sunday when Yeoman Warder Scott Kelly, a friend of Frome RFC and Director of Rugby Cameron Hastie, gave a 'shout out' to the club during his daily talk about the tower and its history on Facebook.

You can see it here: his social media feed.

A club spokesman told Frome Nub News: "It's great to receive a message of congratulations on the 1st XV's promotion and, for it to come from friend of the club, is brilliant."

He added that the club wanted to say 'a huge thank you' for all the congratulatory messages it has received since the promotion news was announced by the RFU.

Frome RFU is no stranger to Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress of the Tower of London - to give it its full title - as the club, including players and members, were treated to a private tour led by Yeoman Warder Kelly last year.
