Document measures 11.75" x 8". Duke of Edinburgh Prince Philip's visits to Burton: He visited the brewery, Marmite factory and the arboretum. As the sad death of Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh was announced, we have taken a look back at his many visits to Burton over the years. He retired from public duties in 2017 which marked 60 years since he first visited the town when he visited Burton Town Hall and arrived to a throng of well-wishers. He also spent time at the town's Marmite factory as well as the Carlsberg Tetley Brewery in Station Street to see his favorite tipple Double Diamond being brewed. The prince's first visit to this area was on Thursday, March 28, 1957, and saw him and the Queen take a lengthy 23-mile Royal route which started at the then Sudbury Station to its termination at the famous archway of Repton School. This visit to Burton was history in the making as Her Majesty became the first reigning Queen to grace the town with her presence. After stepping off the Royal train, the Queen and Prince Philip were greeted by the then Lord Lieutenant of Stafford, Mr. H Wallace-Copland, and the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Dr Charles Hill, while the two station waiting rooms were filled to the rafters with flowers. After miles of country lanes and residential streets, the Royal party finally arrived at Burton Town Hall in King Edward Place. A guard of honor was formed as the obligatory visitors' book and portrait were signed before the the Royal couple made their way to the town hall balcony to wave to the large crowd. During the visit, time was taken to plant a tiny horse chestnut sapling on The Green at Tutbury Castle. Her Royal Highness joked that she was unlucky with planting trees and said with a chuckle: "I don't appear to have very green fingers." While the Queen's next visit to the area was in 1982, she travelled without the Duke of Edinburgh. The Duke's next visit to the area was in December 1995 when along with Her Majesty, the Royals marked the golden jubilee of digger giant JCB at its Rocester headquarters. Arriving in separate cars, the Duke arrived first and was greeted by Sir Anthony Bamford, the company's chairman and managing director. The Duke was then given a tour of the foyer of the Rocester headquarters and was shown the production lines of the loading shovel and JCB Loadall models. The Queen and Prince Philip later regrouped to tour the office area of the headquarters alongside Sir Anthony, JCB chief executive Martin Coyne and the Lord Lieutenant of Staffordshire James Hawley. After lunch, the Queen and Duke travelled together by car to the replica garage at Hollington Road where an anniversary plaque was unveiled in front of 100 former JCB employees to mark the firm's humble beginnings.
