The organisation of policing arrangements for all royal visits to the beautiful English county of North Yorkshire became a primary task for a young, newly promoted Police Inspector. Thrown in at the deep end and having little knowledge of royalty, he faced a formidable challenge. Readers will learn, just as he did, of the Royal Family's work and of history and the support structures which surround it. Additionally, they will understand why and how royal visits occur and simultaneously experience the unexpected and hilarious happenings, and the joy and despair, which arose from his unique and intimate association with them.
