Prince's flying visit

Ben Turner
20/ 6/2008

PRINCE Edward was warmly welcomed by the people of Macclesfield during a whistlestop tour today (Friday, June 20).

The Earl of Wessex - and seventh in line to the throne - was greeted by the borough's mayor, Thelma Jackson, on the steps of the town hall, having arrived by helicopter a few hours earlier.

During his tour, the father-of-two also toured two new state-of-the-art wards at Macclesfield Hospital - speaking to several patients and members of staff - and officially opened the town's £38M new Learning Zone.

   Did we give him a traditional macc welcome?, pint, kebab and fight?

   Why on earth would anyone want to give this man a warm welcome.

If you can name one thing he has done to remotely deserve anything like a warm welcome i may reconsider my stance.
