Kerry Robinson, from King s Lynn, was given a special community volunteer certificate for her dedication to the Angels of Lynn Facebook page, which has provided a network of support for the local community during the pandemic.
Mrs Roper, whose family are sixth generation showmen, said: We were delighted to receive it. Obviously the royals have got connections with the fairgrounds with the royal charters and it s nice that they support their local fair, the King s Lynn Mart.
The Mart, which pitches up on the Tuesday Market Place each February, was granted a Royal Charter by Henry VIII in 1537.
The fair, which traditionally opens on Valentine s Day, marks the start of the travelling showman s year.
West Norfolk council asked Mart operators for their safety proposals for a Covid-secure fair in October. But since then, Norfolk has been placed in a Tier 4 lockdown.
