A Royal Visitor will fly into a Hampshire airport to mark its centenary later this year.
The Princess Royal will fly in to Solent Airport at Daedalus in Lee-on-the-Solent on Tuesday, June 27, for an official visit ahead of the airfield’s 100th birthday celebrations in September.
She will attend the Maritime Coastguard Agency’s search and rescue facility, CEMAST and Fareham Council’s Innovation Centre.
Councillor Sean Woodward, the leader of Fareham Borough Council, said: "Princess Anne’s visit will help enormously in raising the profile of Solent Airport at Daedalus and indeed that of the Solent Enterprise Zone and the work of Fareham Borough Council’s investment in putting Daedalus firmly on the map for aviation, marine and aerospace advanced engineering jobs."
Princess Anne last visited the Borough in 2012 when she visited West Street for a special Freedom March by HMS Collingwood through the town centre.
