On Monday 9th February the band were delighted to receive an invitation to play for His Majesty King Charles III’s visit to Clitheroe.  The King arrived by Royal Train at Clitheroe Station and the band were expecting to play on the platform as he alighted.  Unfortunately, the arrangements had to be changed as there was insufficient room and the band were repositioned outside the station, behind barriers.  

King Charles spent some time talking to local school children who were waiting to greet him, before going on a ‘walkabout’ to meet other members of the public further along Railway View Road. He then left by car to continue his visit to other parts of Lancashire.
