Mike Tindall took a trip down memory lane as he recently revisited his old school.

The rugby star, 44, returned to Queen Elizabeth Grammar School in Yorkshire, where he was reunited with old rugby coach and teacher, Trevor.

In the episode of The Good, The Bad & The Rugby's Grass Routes video series, Mike gave viewers a tour of the school, where he stumbled across a photo of the late Queen Elizabeth II.

The father-of-three recalled memories from his late grandmother-in-law's visit to the grammar school and made a funny quip about wife Zara Tindall.

Mike, who was part of the winning England squad at the Rugby World Cup in 2003, met his future wife and equestrian Zara at the tournament in Australia.

The pair tied the knot at Canongate Kirk in Edinburgh on 30 July 2011, just a couple of months after Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding.

Mike and Zara became parents to daughter Mia in January 2014, followed by Lena in June 2018 and son Lucas in March 2021.  

The children joined Mike as he supported Zara at the Wellington International Horse Trials last month.

The idea was born out of overwhelming enthusiasm from the loyal listeners of their hit podcast, The Good, The Bad & The Rugbywho initially made the suggestion to create a gin.
