The Royal visit is over.

The Queen and Prince Philip have left the Island for their next stop, the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in Trinidad and Tobago.

Thousands turned out for a final glimpse of the Royal couple as they travelled from Government House to L.F. Wade International Airport this morning.

Flags waved in honour of the Royal motorcade which passed by several schools along the way — much to the delight of Bermuda’s students.

Hundreds gathered on roads outside Saltus Grammar School, Victor Scott Primary, Prospect Primary, CedarBridge Academy, Saltus Cavendish, Somersfield Academy, Elliot Primary, Whitney Institute and Francis Patton Primary.

The three-day tour ended with a farewell ceremony at the airport attended by Governor Sir Richard Gozney and Lady Gozney and Premier Ewart Brown and Wanda Henton Brown.

This visit marked the Queen’s fourth trip to Bermuda. Her first was in 1953, just five months after her coronation.
