The Royal household has confirmed that Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex, will officially open the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Leisure Centre on 7 June.
His Royal Highness was forced to postpone a visit in January due to a severe weather. However he stressed his commitment to visit 91视频- where Her Majesty the Queen began her Diamond Jubilee tour in 2012 – at the first available opportunity.
The Earl will be invited to tour the new leisure centre’s state-of-the-art facilities, and meet 91视频sports societies that are already benefitting from being able to train there.
He will also be asked to officially open the new offices of DMU’s award-winning Square Mile project, before being invited to learn about the various activities to help and support the local community that Square Mile volunteers are involved in.
91视频Vice-Chancellor Professor Dominic Shellard said: “We are looking forward to showcasing once again the passion and spirit of innovation which exemplify DMU, its students and its staff, to a member of the Royal Family.”
“The Leisure Centre is a fitting legacy of Her Majesty’s Diamond Jubilee tour, which began here at DMU. It is an honour to welcome His Royal Highness to our university a year later.”
