A Royal wave from the Town
Hall
HM The Queen and HRH The Duke of
Edinburgh are to have lunch at Liverpool Town Hall during a visit to the City, on
Wednesday, 22 June 2016.
Her Majesty and His Royal Highness will arrive at the Town Hall at around midday
and will be greeted by a contingent of Merseyside Sea Cadet Corps, before
meeting a group of people who have been invited because of their work in the
local community.
They will then make an appearance on the famous Town Hall balcony to wave to
well wishers on Castle Street at around 12:30pm.
Back inside, they will be entertained by 8 young people from St Vincent's
School, who will sing the Hollies song:- 'He ain't heavy, he's my brother',
before sitting down for lunch.
Lord Mayor of Liverpool, Councillor Roz Gladden, said:- "I am very much
looking forward to welcoming The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh to Liverpool
Town Hall, particularly so soon after Her Majesty's 90th birthday.
It is always a real honour to host a Royal visit and it is a great chance to
show off our fabulous City and talk about the many positive things that are
happening here.
It is a real opportunity for the people of the City to come out and see Her
Majesty and His Royal Highness and I'd urge people young and old to come and see
their appearance on the balcony at the Town Hall."
It is not the first time that The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh have visited
Liverpool Town Hall; they came during a trip to the City in July 2002 when they
were entertained by a huge carnival on Castle Street as part of the Golden
Jubilee celebrations.
During their visit to Liverpool they are also visiting IFB 2016 and officially
opening the new Exhibition Centre Liverpool and Alder Hey Children's Hospital. |
