CROWDS gathered and flags were waved for a Royal visitor to Chester in the 1980s.

Princess Diana was a guest at Barnardo’s in Hoole, in May 1988, as part of a day of engagements in Cheshire.

The Princess of Wales served as President of Barnardo’s from 1984 to 1996, during which time she made a number of visits to its homes and centres around the UK.

The city has a history of welcoming members of the Royal family, including the Queen in 1979.
