Arrival of the Prince and Princess of Wales at Kimbolton, 1870. 'It was on the evening of Monday week that their Royal Highnesses [future King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra] arrived at Kimbolton Castle [in Cambridgeshire. Having travelled by train from London, they] were received [at St. Neots] by the Duke of Manchester...Kimbolton Castle was reached at half-past seven o'clock. A large crowd of spectators had assembled to witness the arrival, by the iron gates on the St. Neots road. A hearty cheer greeted the arrival of the Royal pair. At the east front, where is the principal entrance to the castle, the Kimbolton contingent of the Huntingdonshire Volunteers were drawn up, under the command of Captain Hayes, to form the guard of honour. Their Royal Highnesses, having alighted from their carriage, were conducted by the Duke up the long flight of steps'. From "Illustrated London News", 1870.
