ASHMERE TALK
T
he Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh were cheered by crowds during a visit to the Derbyshire Dales, including staff and residents from Valley Lodge. They arrived shortly after 10:00am by train at Matlock Station and then went to a knitwear company in Lea Mills, before moving on to Chatsworth House. Crowds including local schoolchildren greeted the royal party at all the venues and they were presented with flowers and gifts. The Queen previously visited Matlock in 1992, 1985 and 1968.
