Their Royal Highnesses, on landing, were received
by the Mayor and Corporation of Gravesend, who

from the Pier, in the path of tba Royal party. The
Royal couple were received with loud and heartfelt
cheers. The cortege consisted of six carriages and
four, and six carriages and pair.
The Mayor and Corporation preceded the Royal
personages, and proceeded to the North-Kent

tillery and Rifle Volunteers lined the streets, which
were tastefully decorated with triumphal arches,
flags of all nations, banners, festoons of
evergreens, and other embellishments.
Immense multitudes saluted the Prince and
Prineess on their route. The carriages went at a
slow pace through the town, and the welcomes of
the people were very gratefully acknowledged by
the illustrious pair. They both looked remarkably
well. Weather fine.
