Synopsis
This paperback reprint is back due to popular demand. Taking an affectionate look at the Royal family through the lenses of Kent photographers, it spans the twentieth century and examines the changing role of the Royal visits from formal in the early days to the more relaxed and friendly visits of later decades. It brings back memories of hundreds of visits to the county by many members of the Royal family over the decades. They can be seen at Canterbury and Rochester Cathedrals, at the County Show, at the University of Kent, in churches, castles, schools, factories, hospitals, shopping centres, parade grounds and army barracks. They are seen giving comfort after wartime bombing, rallying the troops in Kent's darkest days, bringing cheer to the elderly and supporting the emergency services, youth groups and charities. Some visits were of national significance, such as the opening of the Channel Tunnel by Queen Elizabeth II. Others kept alive ancient traditions, such as the installation of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother as Lord of the Cinque Ports. Sometimes the visitors were on formal business. At other times they were relaxed, simply enjoying themselves in our county, taking part in sporting, social and family events. Many Royal faces feature in these pages. But many Kentish faces are also here: the faces of people celebrating Coronations and Royal Weddings or joining in nationwide mourning, the faces of some of the many thousands of people who, over the years, have turned out to welcome Royal visitors to their county.

Product Description
This Images volume departs from the usual history of town and townspeople to focus on royal visits to places in Kent. The photographs, all from the archives of the Kent Messenger, date from the 1920s to 1997 and cover all kinds of events - from launching boats and planting trees to ceremonies at Dover Castle and Canterbury Cathedral.
