Memories of a Royal Visit
Made: 2018
Record Number: HFC:2020:45
Another memory whilst I was Maintenance Officer with Truro City Council, when my office was based in the City Hall from 1966 to 1974. The Council was informed that Prince Charles would be making a visit to Cornwall and that he would be meeting the City Mayor and other dignitaries. Adjacent to the Committee Room was a WC specifically for the use of the members. It was decided that in order of such an occasion a new WC pan be installed, also floor covering and for the room to be redecorated in case the Prince need to use the facilities. The work was duly carried out and the door kept locked until the visit. On the day of the visit, which went well, with lots of handshaking and the usual small talk, someone suggested that the WC be unlocked, however, there was a problem, as no one knew who had the key! Frantic searching failed to locate it. Fortunately, all turned out well, as the Prince didn’t need the facilities. Several days later the key was found in a desk drawer of a person whose identity was never revealed – I hasten to add it was not me!
