The Lord Lieutenant of Angus and the county’s Provost have paid their tributes to the Duke of Edinburgh, including fond memories of the last visit of The Queen and Prince Philip to the area almost two decades ago.
The Royal couple carried out a day-long whistle-stop tour of Angus in July sunshine, touching down at the Condor home of 45 Commando Royal Marines.
After leaving the base in the striking royal Bentley built for The Queen’s golden jubilee two years’ earlier, the next port of call for her Majesty was the official opening of a new community access and learning centre at the then Angus College, now D&A College, on Keptie Road in Arbroath.
