ALL GLENGARRY will be warmly welcoming our Royal Visitors, Saturday, as the Britannia bears them along our riverfront to Cornwall. Many will no doubt journey to Cornwall to see the Queen and Prince Philip in person. Those planning to view the Britannia on its way upriver will have to be up early Saturday morning. The Royal Yacht is due at the Snell lock at 8:45 f a.m., and tour officials inform us it will be passing Lancaster “sometime between 5:00 and 7:00 o’clock”.
