QuoteJersey's loyalty to the crown during the English Civil War has been remembered.

Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, visited Jersey to mark 350 years since the Royal Mace was given to the island by King Charles II.

He presented the mace on 28 November 1663 in gratitude for his happy times on the island during his years in exile.  It has been a feature of the island's parliamentary proceedings ever since.
