'For a watching world, that day at Ludlow in 1980 was the public beginning of it all.'
Camilla Parker-Bowles and Lady Diana Spencer at Ludlow racecourse to watch the Amateur Riders Handicap Steeplechase in which the Prince was competing.
A photo of Diana taken on that day by Shropshire Star photographer Malcolm Rouse was to go around the world and has been republished by various publications many times since. Lady Diana, who was dressed in a green coat and tartan tights, leapt up and down as the prince galloped home in his three-mile race. A broad grin on her face, the blushing teenager was first to the rails of the unsaddling enclosure as he led Allibar in.
Malcolm remembers: “A photographer pal of mine from London was there and said that Charles’ new girlfriend was around. We went off looking for her and found her wandering around with Camilla. We chased her a little bit, through a building, and everywhere. She was trying to evade us.
