Waltham Forest to receive royal visit this March
People in flats to rent in Waltham Forest will get a chance to see the Queen in March 2012 as the monarch pays a visit to the local town hall.
Alongside the Duke of Edinburgh, Her Majesty will be attending a special lunch on March 29th as part of a Diamond Jubilee tour that will also see her stopping off in areas such as Ilford and Harrow.
Residents will be encouraged to welcome the Queen and Prince Phillip to the borough and join in the celebrations for Elizabeth II's 60-year reign.
Chris Robbins, leader of Waltham Forest Council, said: "What with the Olympic and Paralympic Games coming to the borough, to find out that we are also going to be hosting royalty is a wonderful surprise."
To underline this, the council recently announced that local neighbourhoods will all be receiving an additional £5,000 in funding for street parties in order to celebrate both the Olympics and the jubilee.
Earlier this month, Lord Sebastian Coe praised Waltham Forest after 100 per cent of local schools signed up for the London 2012 Get Set project, which will aim to promote Olympic values among students.
