Charles’ and Di’s wedding trolleybus
Freshly restored former Maidstone Corporation Sunbeam trolleybus 72 (HKR11) was decked out in flags to celebrate the so-called Wedding of the Century, the marriage of HRH Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer. Amid much national rejoicing, the happy event duly took place a few days later. Sadly, we all know how that turned out.
The location is the Sandtoft Trolleybus Museum, a place of regular pilgrimage over several decades. Dating from 1947, HKR11 served the Kentish county town for 20 years until the trolleybus system’s demise in March 1967. It carries bodywork by Northern Coachbuilders.
