SOCIAL SCENE
Royal visit to Ventnor
Botanical Gardens
Prince Charles and Camilla visited the
Island on Friday July 17, and their first
port of call was the Botanic Gardens
in Ventnor. Here they opened the
arid garden and walked through the
Australian Garden to the sound of Alex
Turner (18) on the didgeridoo. After
many introductions and three cheers
from local schoolchildren the couple
presented The Queen’s Award for
Voluntary Service to the Green Gym.
