Philip Taylor's souvenirs of the Royal Inauguration, Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, La Palma, June 1985
Scope and Contents
Souvenirs donated by Philip Taylor. Taylor was one of a group of RGO staff who were invited to a royal banquet by the King of Spain but could not turn up. According to Taylor, the logistics and administration of the weekend overlooked the fact that many participants were on a different Canary Island to the royal party, with no means of transport to the other.
