ROYAL VISIT TO CAERNARFON

Her Maj meets the Mayor and his wife

CAERNARFON CASTLE

The above picture shows the Queens gate and a Post Office van, these will not be around for much longer. The van I meant.

One of the most interesting things about Caernarfon was watching the progression of the Jay-C from flat metal to a big red fishing boat, a shrimper I think, we missed the launch but she has been afloat for some time now may she sail safely. Its the Red boat.

The Queen and Prince Phillip stand on the new viewing platform where Charles stood after his investiture many years ago.

The Royal party arrive at Caernarfon Castle to enter by the Queens Gate

We found ourselves in Caernarfon earlier this year and met up with some friends, we got the tip off that her Maj was coming to visit the following morning so just before the allotted time we positioned ourselves by the Castle. We new something was in the wind as we were surrounded by police and PCSO’s, ununiformed men with deaf aids and bald heads and other doubtful looking characters. The allotted hour came and went but time passed watching people trying to guess who was who and spotting the helicopter etc: when in a flash a quorum of motor cycle police and a large Bentley arrived at the back gate to the Castle, protocol forbid the Queen going into the main gate so she had to use the Queens gate at the back, we had been tipped off by the lady in the Tourist information office so we were there with twenty of so other people while the masses were at the front. The Queen alighted from her Limousine surrounded by taller men with suits and ear pieces and was guided to the waiting Mayor and his wife, a quick hand shake and a move toward the steps without so much as a backward glance, the lady by my wife shouts, give us a wave Queen and she halted looked round with a look of well there are not many here and raised her hand, that is how I got my photo, because everyone else waved back. The photo made the Knutsford Guardian which was unfortunate as I live in Northwich. Anyway I am not a royalist but have now seen the Queen and Prince Phillip and truly realise what money is wasted in this country, there were stories of men in black creeping around the town and snipers on the roof tops, I could not tell you how many policemen I counted this day but there were a lot.
