I was really lucky and managed to take a quick photograph of the Queen as they drove passed the Hotel en route to Holgates Green. I couldn't believe my luck when HRH looked straight at me and smiled :) It was a one chance shot only, and I managed to get it.
The Queen & Prince Phillip came over to visit the new school build where they met some of the children. My daughter Keely was there with the Brownies, so she was really pleased. June Jones (hotel proprietor) was also there with daughter Jenny, and grand children, Harrison, Leo & Zara. June was interviewed by Radio Cornwall, but I've not heard the clip on the radio yet.
After the school visit, the Royal party drove to town, and passed the Bell Rock Hotel before attending Holgates Green where they met members of the emergency services, gig crews, etc. Peter Martin, the local boatbuilder met the Queen. He has built many gigs:
The Queen was accompanied around the green by Mike Hicks, the Council's Chairman, where he was able to introduce the people she was meeting.
Finally, after the visit to Holgates Green the Queen & Prince Phillip had a spot of lunch before departing the islands around 2.30pm
