Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester riding on a barge which bares his name in 1937. He is accompanied by the Mayor of Wigan and crowds stand along the canal side cheering as the barge travels along.

Great pic - and a lovely advert for Airey's Brewery on the side of the house in Jubilee Terrace!

Apologies for typo error, that should read, "bears his name"---not "bares his name". Spellcheck won't help if you don't know the difference, my fault.
