An impromptu walkabout sealed the success of the Princess Royals visit to Leamington
An impromptu walkabout sealed the success of the Princess Royals visit to Leamington. Eager crowds of people, some of whom had stood for two hours in the sweltering heat to catch a glimpse of her were treated to smiles, laughter and friendly chatter. The Princess was there to open Warwickshires first Save the Children charity shop in the towns Regent Street. Wearing a slim-fitting patterned dress with a pleated skirt in sunburst colours, she entered the shop, met the volunteers and cut a cake made in honour of the occassion. When she left the shop the crowds called to her and she went to chat with them. Among her adoring fans was June Bradbury(pictured), of Green Lane, Coventry who presented the Princess with a bunch of pink carnations. " I m thrilled to have seen her, I m a great admirer of the royal family."

In this photo print, we witness the resounding success of Princess Royal's visit to Leamington. The atmosphere was electric as eager crowds gathered, patiently enduring two hours under the scorching sun just for a glimpse of royalty. Their dedication was rewarded with radiant smiles, infectious laughter, and warm conversations from the Princess herself. The purpose of her visit was to inaugurate Warwickshire's inaugural Save the Children charity shop on Regent Street. Donning a slim-fitting patterned dress in vibrant sunburst colors with a pleated skirt, she exuded elegance as she stepped into the shop. Inside, she graciously met with volunteers and ceremoniously cut a cake specially made for this momentous occasion. However, it was during her departure that an impromptu walkabout truly sealed the triumph of her visit. As adoring fans called out to her from all directions, unable to resist their enthusiasm and genuine affection for their beloved royal figurehead, she graciously obliged by engaging in heartfelt conversations with them. Amongst those captivated by her presence stood June Bradbury from Green Lane in Coventry. Overwhelmed by joy at having witnessed such an extraordinary event firsthand, June presented the Princess with a beautiful bouquet of pink carnations - symbolizing admiration and appreciation towards both Her Highness and the entire royal family.
