Identification of press representatives will be by means of

coloured lapel badges. The appropriate lapel badge for each individual

function must be worn by press representatives.

The purpose of the lapel

badges is solely to assist in the rapid identification of press representatives

accredited for the Royal Visit and to ensure that they receive every possible

facility to carry out their work. Wearing of these lapel badges is,

therefore, essential. Any press representative who fails to wear the

appropriate lapel badge may find himself treated as an ordinary spectator.

TRANSPORT

destination in good time, editors are advised that the departure times of
