The musical accompaniment to the Royal visit came courtesy of the Hatfield and Askern Colliery Band who played a selection of numbers while His and Her Majesties met with civic dignataries inside one of Doncaster’s most historic buildings.

And as the couple drove away following the ceremony, the brass band struck up a rousing rendition of God Save The King as they passed en route to their awaiting helicopter at the Racecourse.
