Description:Other carriages of the ladies and gentlemen in her retinue follow behind and the crowds cheer wildly. The royal party alight and the mayor and the notables are present to the queen. The loyal addresses are then read and the mayor, Mr Ratcliff, is Knighted by the Queen. The whole party then forms into a single procession and they make their way slowly towards the balcony along an avenue lined by cheering onlookers.

Taking her place on the Balcony the Queen pronounces the Park open, She leaves, to the national anthem given voice by local school children and the cheers and hurrahs of a grateful audience.
