WORCESTER Warriors multi-million pound East stand has been officially opened by the Princess Royal, today.
Princess Anne unveiled a plaque in the stand’s modern top floor Pitchview Suite in front of more than 100 invited guests, Warriors club officials and local school children.
Her Royal Highness, an avid rugby fan herself, was clearly impressed with what had been achieved at the club under the ownership of chairman Cecil Duckworth, who has steered Warriors through six league promotions after taking over 15 years ago.
She praised the work of the club "in the community" and was presented with a rugby ball signed by the Warriors first team, following the unveiling ceremony.
