It was nine o'clock on a perfect summer's morning in Chester, England, and the people of the ancient city located 188 miles northwest of London were lining the streets five deep, excitedly awaiting the arrival of the Prince and Princess of Wales.
The Royal Couple was due to arrive at the town hall at 10:40 A.M. to start a four-hour tour of the area. But the street sweepers (we call them dust carts) had been out since seven cleaning the streets.
