Royal Visit to Queensferry |
HRH Princess Anne visited Queensferry lifeboat station yesterday. The Princess Royal met volunteer lifeboat crew members and fundraisers, and was presented with a picture of the station's B class lifeboat. |
The Princess was invited to visit the town by Edinburgh's Lord Provost and Lord Lieutenant, George Grubb, last year. Queensferry Lifeboat Operations Manager Tom Robertson says: ‘I think the visit went very well indeed. The Princess Royal was very open and spoke to everyone from the station. She seemed very interested, asking each crew member how long they had been volunteering, and about their training and their work, even discussing GPS.' Photographs are available in the gallery. |
