Richard Garrett reveals the little told story of Britain's monarchy on the move - whether it be an early king's progress through the realm or the present Queen's trip to the farthermost parts of the Commonwealth. Coaches, yachts, horseless carriages and aeroplanes; the various methods of transport are described in detail, with special attention paid to the travelling done by Queen Elizabeth II and to the intricate planning that precedes each journey. Profusely illustrated with photographs, paintings and period engravings.
