Oakham Castle, Royal Visit, What a mess Rutland County Council

Oakham Castle

As is customary in Oakham as a senior member of The Royal Family The Duchess of Cornwall will present a decorative horseshoe to the Lord of the Manor Mr Hanbury.   The Horse Shoe has been made by Mr John Spence.

The details of the Castle Private Visit Organised by our Tory Council and paid for by the local tax payers
have now been removed from the information page of Rutland County Council's website

Prince Charles and Camilla will then walk the grounds of Oakham Castle, where they will meet military personnel from Kendrew Barracks and St Georges Barracks, as well as scout and guide groups.

30 children from local primary schools singing in the castle, before the Duchess of Cornwall presents a decorative horseshoe to the Lord of the Manor Mr Hanbury to be displayed at Oakham Castle.



Looking at the state of the castle grounds this morning I am guessing this private walk in the 
grounds has been cancelled? more likely a security screw up by our useless council.



It is possible the council is letting the royal couple see it in its normal state just as regular 
visitors do?

Has Cory gone on strike? traders tell me the town has not seen its normal once a day clean up.

Oakham Market Place (This is the best place for members of the public to show their support. The Royal guests are expected from 12.30pm onwards but please allow plenty of time as we are expecting it to be busy)
Their Royal Highnesses will walk through the Market Square where they will meet market stall holders and shop owners.  The market stalls will be made up of local business including Northfield Farm, Barnsdale Gardens and Rutland Biodynamics. They will also meet Morris dancers and people associated with Oakham in Bloom.
Jayne Woodcock, Mayor of Oakham: “I am delighted that The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall have chosen to visit Oakham and for The Duchess of Cornwall to honour the town by presenting a horseshoe for display in Oakham Castle. I am sure the royal visitors will enjoy seeing the unique features of Oakham and meeting some of the residents of the town and surrounding county.”

Oakham Castle Private Event

As is customary in Oakham as a senior member of The Royal Family The Duchess of Cornwall will present a decorative horseshoe to the Lord of the Manor Mr Hanbury.   The Horse Shoe has been made by Mr John Spence.

Councillor Roger Begy, Leader of Rutland County Council, said: “Royal visits are always extremely popular in Rutland and I am sure this will be no different. I remember when The Prince of Wales last visited the county back in 2003 and he has always shown great interest in the area and is extremely knowledgeable about Rutland. This is a historic event and one that I would imagine local people will be keen to support. ”
