WEST Somerset’s most travelled teenager Anthony Knight completed a short central Europe tour during the schools half-term holiday.

Anthony, aged 17, who lives in Minehead, visited three countries in a week as part of his fund-raising effort for UNICEF, the largest international charity helping children in conflict zones around the world.

He is an accomplished violinist and has spent the past year performing in local care homes, churches, and other establishments and travelling Europe to give recitals in a string of major cities.

Anthony, who attends Taunton School and leads the school’s symphony orchestra and a string quartet, has so far raised more than £20,000 for UNICEF and the Disasters Emergencies Committee Ukraine Appeal, which led to a meeting with the Princess of Wales at Christmas.

He hopes to reach a total of 100 performances by the time he finishes his fund-raising in the summer.

During half-term Anthony flew from Bristol to Budapest, then travelled by train to Vienna and Prague, before returning to Budapest, taking to eight he number of European countries he has toured on behalf of UNICEF.

Aria Hotel Prague sales and marketing director Jan Korta said on social media after Anthony’s visit: “We just had a lovely violin recital at Aria Prague earlier today performed by a young talented artist Anthony Knight.”

Anthony will conclude his UNICEF Grand Tour will in July when he visits the Benelux countries, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg.
