In Poland we have been recollecting his visits to this country: an official royal tour in 1996, and earlier, one for a horse driving championship in 1975, when he was part of the British team and head of the International Equestrian Federation.

We dipped into the English Section’s archives for an insight into the latter visit by the then British ambassador to Warsaw, Norman Reddaway.
