Staying in focus

We understand that a cordon has been set up in Rhos where Prince Charles will today meet rescue teams who responded to the tragedy at Gleision Colliery. However it apparently has nothing to do with heightened security.

The main aim is to exclude politicians of various tenure who queued up in September to be seen and/or interviewed by the media. The restricted guest list is at the insistence of the palace but the talk among the uninvited is that the local MP wants a clear field.
