Prince Philip made many visits to York and North Yorkshire over the years as our picture gallery shows PRINCE Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, made several memorable visits to York and North Yorkshire over his seven decades as the Queen s consort. The first was in 1949, just two years after his wedding to Princess Elizabeth, and three before she became Queen. Our picture shows him – as tradition dictated – walking behind the Princess alongside the civic party through Stonegate with York Minster in the background. His final visit was in April 2012 when he and Princess Beatrice accompanied the Queen on a visit to York as part of her Diamond Jubilee tour of the UK. During their time in the city they attended the Maundy Thursday service at York Minster.

Now where were we before life took such an unexpected turn? Ah yes, trains. In those innocent pre-Covid days, trains were all the rage. Greta Thunberg had made us all more aware of our carbon footprint, and increasingly it was being said that travel was about more than simply getting from A to B as quickly as possible: that there was a lot to be said for enjoying the journey itself. Trains were clearly moving into a new age prior to the pandemic, but the events of the past 12 months and more have accelerated that process. A new age for rail travel indeed dawns.
