King Charles is to visit Bolton later this week to celebrate 150 years of the town hall.

The King and Camilla, the Queen Consort, are set to arrive in the borough on Friday.


It will be the first time the reigning monarch has been to Bolton since Queen Elizabeth II came for the town's 150th birthday celebrations in 1988.

The King and Camilla will be greeted at the town hall by a civic line up led by the mayor of Bolton.

As well as Mayor Akhtar Zaman leading councillors, local MPs will be there to welcome him, the [size=inherit]Local Democracy Reporting Service[/size] said.

King Charles and Camilla will watch a performance from the Polonez folk dance group, before entering the town hall which was officially opened in 1873 by the then Prince of Wales who later became King Edward VII.

The pair will walk in via the Hall of Memories - pausing to look at LS Lowry's famous painting Going to the Match inspired by Bolton Wanderers' old Burnden Park ground.

All that's necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing
