This Tuesday Guernsey was honoured by His Majesty King Charles III and Her Majesty Queen Camilla visiting the Island for an official visit, their first since His Majesty’s Accession to the throne.
Having just landing via helicopter from Jersey, the royal couple were greeted with a 21-gun salute at Castle Cornet and thousands of people lined the seafront to greet the King and Queen.
He commented, “We were fortunate to meet so many islanders on that occasion and to see so clearly the great regard and affection for her late Majesty.
“We are delighted to be able to return once again and we look forward to meeting more people from the wonderful islands.”
Check out the accompanying photos! Those eagle eyed may spot the chair his and her majesty is sitting on!
The St Martins Lodge chairs (included the main chair used by WM’s) being used have been used for the following Monarchs visits to the island King George V, King Edward VIII (when he was Prince of Wales) King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip and now King Charles III and Queen Camilla. How cool is that?
It was an amazing day very well supported by islanders!
