THE Queen’s Guide to the sands of Morecambe Bay has had a busy year marking 50 years in the role and celebrating his 80th birthday, but has still found time to go on tour to promote his latest book.

Cedric Robinson, of Grange, officially launched ‘Tide and Time: 50 Golden Years on Morecambe Bay’ at the Sandcastle Festival in Morecambe on Saturday, and will now go on to do numerous book signings across the area over the next month. He said he was really excited about the venture.

“I always look forward to meeting people and it will be lovely to go to different places - I enjoy doing that,” he said.
