A MEMBER of the royal family has landed in Bradford ahead of a tour of two locations in the district.
The Duke of Gloucester, Prince Richard – who is Queen Elizabeth II’s cousin and a full-time working member of the royal family – arrived in a helicopter at Bradford Grammar School.
His first royal appointment will see him open the new IK School of Fine Tailoring, IK Collections, on Westgate in Bradford city centre.
The Duke will then visit Kingfisher House, Filey Street, Bradford.
The owners of the site got the go-ahead for a new orthopaedic care centre in February this year.
Standard Health Group, the organisation behind the plans, said the work would be a “transformative step in addressing the demand for enhanced medical facilities” in the city.
The building, just off Wakefield Road, was previously used by the Royal Bank of Scotland as an office.
