When He Didn't Wave: A Mallorca Experience and the Question of Responsibility

Answer

What happened at Dique del Oeste in Mallorca in 1993?

A Royal Navy ship docked at Dique del Oeste on a cool April morning, and a small group waited to see a prominent passenger. He did not remain visible for long, later left in a car and went on to Santa Ponsa golf course. The moment stood out because the expected public greeting never really happened.
