A Royal Visit

9/10/2013

Back in the Summer of 1982, the Queen and Prince Philip passed through Lundin Links having been in Anstruther to open an extension to the Scottish Fisheries Museum. They had also dined at the Craw's Nest Hotel. All the pupils from Lundin Mill Primary School came down to line the main road and wave flags. The photo shows the car just passing the junction of Leven Road and Crescent Road. It was a fleeting visit but one that sticks in the mind. If anyone recalls this day or knows of any other Royal Visits to the village, please comment or contact us.

The Queen also drove through Lundin Links on 19 Sept 1950 after a tour around the East Neuk and before spending a night at Wemyss Castle. This was reported the next day in The Courier.

I remember well waiting to see the Queen, at the Post Office corner, opposite the LL hotel on July 1st 1982, my 21st birthday, with our wee flags.
