    From Wikipedia 1903:19–27 July - First visit to Ireland as monarch of King Edward VII,[1] landing at Buncrana.

    No, not that one: 1904: In 2nd May 1904 King Edward visited Waterford. He travelled from Dun Laoghaire, County Dublin via Kilkenny, arriving at Waterford North Station at 12:50 p.m. The station was decorated in crimson and a salute was fired by the HMS Aeolus, which was stationed in the river along three other ships. The King was entertained by the mayor James A. Power at a reception in City Hall. The Royal party then visited the Waterford Show. The Royal party proceeded to the Waterford South Station to take the 16:05p.m train to Lismore. Before departing the King knighted the Mayor on the platform. The King then took the train to Lismore where he was greeted by the Duke of Devonshire and other dignitaries.

    That Grandstand looks like a permanent structure, was the Show at a racecourse? I see one in Tramore...

    "Date: between ca. 1901 and 1954" Shall we say it's rather unlikely to have been anytime after May 1910? 8-)

Edward Prince of Wales in the rotunda Warwick 1920

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Prince Edward visited Warwick for about an hour, on Monday 26 July 1920. He arrived at Warwick by train at 3 pm and was greeted by the Mayor, Alderman R. E. Gillam. A band played the National Anthem and the Prince was escorted through the main entrance of the railway station to where returned soldiers were drawn up in files. He passed here and there through the ranks, shook hands with one or two of the men, and chatted for an instant before passing onto another. He then stepped into the waiting car and was driven down Grafton Street to the cheering of the people. The car took him to the Rotunda in Leslie Park where the Prince received a gift of painted views of Warwick. The Prince was then driven back to the railway station. The train moved off to the accompaniment of ringing cheers, with the Prince standing on the platform at the rear of the rail car. (Information taken from The Warwick Daily News, 27 July 1920, p. 5.)
