Historic Clitheroe Gets Ready to Welcome His Majesty the King
Clitheroe is getting ready to give His Majesty King Charles III a right Royal welcome.
His Majesty will visit locations throughout Lancashire, including Clitheroe, next Monday (February 9).
The King will be welcomed at Clitheroe Station by the Lord-Lieutenant of Lancashire, Mrs Amanda Parker, and civic dignitaries, including Ribble Valley Mayor Simon O’ Rourke and Ribble Valley Borough Council chief executive Sarah Threlfall.
He will then meet residents and well-wishers, before setting off to visit a number of locations in Lancashire.
Residents, motorists and businesses are advised that Station Road in Clitheroe will be closed from around 7am on Monday, along with other security arrangements in the town centre, for the duration of the visit.
His Majesty has visited Clitheroe several times over the years, most recently last June during a brief stop and more notably in 2017, when the town hosted a mini-food festival for him.
Ribble Valley Mayor Simon O’ Rourke said:
“We are delighted that His Majesty the King is dropping in to see us again.
“Clitheroe has an enduring relationship with the King, who is extremely popular among townspeople and can be assured of a warm welcome.”
