Overview
- On Sept. 9, a royal helicopter touched down on Merchant Taylors’ Senior School field in Crosby as the Princess Royal arrived for a Liverpool engagement.
- Video and school updates show Princess Anne disembarking before leaving by car, with Year 6 pupils later invited to walk around the aircraft and speak with the pilots.
- The school identified the aircraft as a Leonardo AW139 in the royal claret livery, with footage corroborating the model and landing location.
- At Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium, Anne toured the new venue, went pitch-side, unveiled a plaque and met guests and charity partners alongside Chamber leaders.
- Headmaster Mr Dearden thanked the crew for the rare educational moment, and the Court Circular recorded the stop as one of four engagements for the Princess that day.
