Diana, Princes of Wales chats to the smiling crowd.
Huge crowds greeted the Prince and Princess of Wales when they arrived in Warwickshire Today. They lined the streets hours before the couple arrived for the first royal visit to Atherstone in 500 years. The onlookers loved them - especially Princess Dianas pretty blue and white hat, with a blue veil. They arrived by train and were driven along the bunting-hung main street to a Market Place walkabout. Factory bosses had given workers time off to see the visitors and most schools in the area brought cheering crowds of youngsters to greet the royal couple. In St Marys parish church the couple saw an exhibition of the towns history, arranged as part of the Atherstone Festival, including a display of the towns hat-making history. Later they saw a special development by North Warwickshire borough council to encourage new industry into the area, visited a centre for the physically handicapped and talked to children at Race Meadow first and Atherstone North middle schools.

Diana, Princess of Wales Engages with Enthusiastic Crowds during Historic Visit to Warwickshire
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from June 27th, 1985, Diana, Princess of Wales can be seen warmly conversing with a smiling crowd. The Prince and Princess of Wales were welcomed by an overwhelming sea of people as they arrived in Warwickshire for their first royal visit to Atherstone in over five centuries. Hours before the couple's arrival, the streets were already lined with eager onlookers who eagerly anticipated catching a glimpse of royalty. Their excitement was palpable as they cheered and adored the charming princess, particularly captivated by her elegant blue and white hat adorned with a delicate blue veil. Arriving by train, the couple embarked on a bunting-draped main street where they engaged in a delightful walkabout at Market Place. Factory workers were granted time off to witness this momentous occasion while schools brought cheering crowds of youngsters to greet the beloved royal pair. During their visit, Diana and Prince Charles explored St Mary's parish church where an exhibition showcasing Atherstone's rich history awaited them. As part of the Atherstone Festival celebrations, displays highlighting the town's hat-making heritage enchanted both visitors and locals alike. Their itinerary also included visits to various establishments such as a center for individuals with physical disabilities and Race Meadow First School along with Atherstone North Middle School where they interacted joyfully with children. This remarkable photograph captures not only Diana's radiant presence but also reflects upon the immense love and admiration she garnered wherever she went during her tragically short-lived life.
