Pembrokeshire County Council chairman, Clr. Arwyn Williams, has welcomed the announcement by Buckingham Palace that Her Majesty The Queen and His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh are visiting the county next Tuesday (April 29). The royal couple - who were last together visiting Pembrokeshire in 2001 when they opened County Hall - will arrive at Haverfordwest rail station in the morning for a series of engagements in Pembrokeshire throughout the day. While The Duke tours Puffin Produce Limited at Withybush, Haverfordwest, The Queen will travel a few miles east down the A40 to visit the Cotts Equine Hospital near Robeston Wathen. Their Royal Highnesses will then meet up when they visit the Princes Gate Spring Water plant near Narberth later in the morning. The royals will travel up Narberth High Street on their way to Picton Castle for a private luncheon hosted by Pembrokeshire County Council chairman Clr. Arwyn Williams. After lunch, the Queen and Duke will visit Pembroke Dock, nearly 60 years after Her Majesty's first visit to the town as monarch. They will visit an exhibition in the Royal Dockyard Chapel celebrating the 200th anniversary of the town. Clr. Williams said: "I am delighted that Her Majesty The Queen and His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh have chosen to visit Pembrokeshire for the whole day. "It is a great honour for the county and I am sure they will be given a right royal Pembrokeshire welcome." County Clr. Wynne Evans is 'delighted' that The Queen and Prince Philip will drive through Narberth en route from Princes Gate Water to Picton Castle. "I informed the Mayor once I was able to do so due to strict security criteria in advance of their trip to the county," he said. "I am convinced the people of Narberth will be out in force that day to line the streets and give a very warm welcome. The royal cars will travel slowly up the High Street to allow everyone a good view and to take photographs."
