Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales and future Queen, has been in Lancashire
The Princess of Wales meets Peter Ellison, who has worked at Standfast & Barracks for 50 years, during a visit to Standfast & Barracks printworks in Lancaster
The firm, now part of the Sanderson Design Group, is renowned for its heritage in textile design and creativity and employs around 160 staff to design and print 35,000 metres of printed fabrics each week.
Mr Royle said: “The whole re-gen thing is quite important to us, so we have been on this journey looking at all our fabrics.” Later, Kate rounded off her tour by meeting Peter Elliston, the factory’s longest-serving employee, who will clock up half a century at the firm in November. His granddaughter, Emily May Catto, aged seven, handed over a picture she had drawn and a posy of flowers to Kate, who crouched down to speak to the beaming youngster.
