See pictures from the royal visit
23 years ago. Formerly known as The Prince of Wales, the monarch visited St Andrew’s Healthcare in 2000 to open the charity’s Lowther building which is now used to host the organisation’s Dementia Village.
It said: “It was an exciting occasion but, due to safety and security, only two education staff could be at the event itself. That meant we had to hold a draw in the department to see which two it should be. My colleague at the time Linda and I were the lucky ones. “It was a very formal occasion, not at all relaxed, but I was impressed by the way Prince Charles listened and responded thoughtfully and appropriately, sharing his relevant experience with us.
“I felt truly honoured at the time meeting him and I’m proud that he visited our charity. King Charles represents the continuation of our monarchy and I look forward to watching him thrive over the course of his reign.”
