"Royal Visit..."

At the start of October, during our Monday morning communications time, the crew was told of a possible royal visit.  At the time we did not think much of the who, what, where, and when.  Just that it was a possiblility.

Much to our delight, a week ago, the Africa Mercy was honoured with a visit from the Princess Royal and her husband Admiral Sir Tim.  This was the first visit made to the Africa Mercy by Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal, who is Anne the daughter Queen Elizabeth.  She came to Freetown in honour of celebrating the 50th anniversary of Sierra Leone's Independence.
