Tonbridge Welcomes Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment

Thousands turned out to pay their respects and welcome the 2nd Battalion The Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment as they exercised their right to march through the Borough.  Recently back from Afganistan, and Royal Wedding duties, the soldiers marched with colours and bayonets fixed to the beat of the drums through Tonbridge High Street past flag waving and cheering spectators. After  taking the salute on The Big Bridge, and the Major's inspection, they marched on to the Castle.  The celebrations continued on a sunny Castle Lawn with military bands and specially laid on refreshments.  This was an experience not to have missed but if you did below is a taster of the afternoon.
