The Visit to Lyme Regis of the Princess Royal





Today was another highlight of our Mayoral year the visit of Princess Anne.
The Mayoress and I had the privilege to be in the reception party to meet the Princess Royal on her arrival in Lyme Regis at the Alexander Hotel. The Princess was here to open the new Sea Front and Langmoor Gardens, which had been part of the coastal protection scheme. Many local dignitaries were presented to the Princess Royal in the garden of the Hotel who had been involved in the scheme in some way since the early 90’s. Following this the Princess walked through the gardens down to the beach to unveil a plaque in memory of the opening. I would like to think the photos above would give an understanding how pleasant the occasion was for all concerned.
