The small Kildare town of Kilcullen is to be essentially shut down for one of Queen Elizabeth’s private engagements. She is visiting the Aga Khan Gilltown stud where she is to be presented with a gift from Prince Karim Al Husseini, the fourth Aga Khan.
Up to fifty gardai will be on duty in the town for the visit on Thursday 19 May, some taking up positions in houses and retail units beside the route she will travel. The town is to be closed to all vehicles from 9.30am on the day until after 4.30pm, with parking on the main street stopped at 6pm the night before.
