Royal Visit 2026
Clitheroe gave King Charles a right Royal welcome – and even the sun made a brave attempt to come out from behind the clouds.
His Majesty arrived at the town’s railway station in the Royal train to be greeted by hundreds of people lining up to cheer, clap and wave Union flags.
Slaidburn Silver Band provided a musical accompaniment and local school children mingled with well-wishers of all ages as His Majesty went on a short walkabout, shaking hands and chatting to onlookers some of whom were “veterans” of previous Royal visits to our area.
The King spent several hours meeting local people, farmers, and representatives from local businesses and rural groups at a number of local venues.
Here’s some of the images from the day – feel free to download any that you want to remember this special day.
