\u201cWe are looking forward to an exciting visit and memorable event for Newmarket and hope that as many local residents as possible are able to attend and represent the town.\u201d<\/p>\n
Free parking is going to be made available at The Severals and at Tattersalls for those coming in to the town to greet the royal visitors.<\/p>\n
