Visitors and local residents in Kirkby Lonsdale gave a warm Cumbrian welcome to the Prince of Wales when he visited the town on a weekly market day at the end of March. Those accompanying Prince Charles said afterwards that he had been delighted at the enthusiastic welcome accorded him.
The Prince spoke to almost every one of the traders who gather each Thursday for the town’s Charter market, which dates back to the 13th Century.
Community manager, Jane Richmond, said “Prince Charles had indicated a wish to see the market for himself when told how the town council had saved it from closure by the local district council by taking over its management.”
Jane had been contracted a year ago to rebuild the market, which was now said to be helping to increase business throughout the town each market day.
