Cedric Robinson, who was longest-serving Queen’s Guide to the Sands, steered hundreds of thousands of people across sands
A man who for 56 years guided walkers across the treacherous sands of Morecambe Bay, has died, aged 88.
Cedric Robinson was the longest-serving Queen’s Guide to the Sands, a job created in 1548 during the dissolution of the monasteries, when the reigning monarch inherited an obligation to appoint guides for travellers over the sands of the bay.
