HM The Queen visits Crewkerne

Crewkerne turned out en-mass to welcome Her Majesty The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh on the occasion of their visit to Crewkerne. The first stalwarts arrived in Market Square around 6:30am and by 9:00am the square was packed with people.

A carnival atmosphere prevailed and at one point the crowd were singing along to the music of the band when they played happy birthday to one of the guests.

Her Majesty arrived to rousing cheers and much flag waving and after visiting the Town Hall she unveiled a hamstone plaque commemorating her visit before being introduced to some lucky guests waiting on the square.

After what was always going to be a too short visit she went on to Maiden Beech Academy where a helicopter was waiting to take the royal party on to Exeter.
