NOSTALGIA: Hundreds turn out as Prince of Wales visits Boston in 1992
Hundreds of people turned out to see the Prince of Wales visit Boston 30 years ago.
Prince Charles was on a trip to the area and looked around Pilgrim Hospital (which was officially opened by his sister, the Princess Royal, 15 years earlier) and North Sea Camp.
But there was controversy before his visit when a Pilgrim Hospital consultant spoke out to criticise a big ‘spruce up’ planned for the hospital ahead of his visit.

Dr Nyman added that he believed visitors like Prince Charles and Government ministers should see the hospital as it really is.
