He’s seen the Queen more than 150 times becoming such a familiar face she knows him by name. Colin Edwards, who believes he must be the most ardent royalist in Wales, has followed Her Majesty and the royals around the country for more than 60 years.
On one occasion when the Queen spotted him in the crowd again she came over and joked: “I think you’re following me.” Now aged 81 the former civil servant from Ruthin regrets he is not mobile enough to camp out for the Platinum Jubilee celebrations in London so will be watching on television instead.
The last time Colin saw and spoke to the Queen was in 2018 when she visited Chester, To mark the jubilee he is holding an exhibition of some of his unique royal photographs at a church near his home in Ruthin.
