Pardubice ready for Princess Anne visit

The organisers of events at Pardubice Racecourse say the venue is ready for Sunday's visit by Princess Anne. They also say drivers on the road between Hradec Kralove and Chrudim may experience difficulties. The princess is due to arrive in Pardubice, east Bohemia, aboard a Royal Air Force aircraft used by the British Royal family. Her schedule will include a visit to the 117th Grand Pardubice steeple chase, where she will present the prize to the winner. The princess, who is the only daughter of Queen Elizabeth II, is also scheduled to meet President Vaclav Klaus and Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek, as well as to visit schools and charity organisations.
