Summary
The Channel Isles in three days and the Royal tour programme was a full one. Old time costumes were worn by the islanders who presented the Queen with a box of Gurnseys - the local knitted pullovers. The Royal visit to the island of Sark began when they landed at the old harbour. Here the Queen stepped ashore onto what is virtually a separate little Kingdom, watched over by the Dame of Sark, Mrs Hathaway.
