After arriving by helicopter, the princess spoke to staff and pupils and was given a tour of the premises, which includes a sensory room.

She also visited the Aga offices in Coalbrookdale. The princess was in Birmingham on Thursday.

She officially opened the Perry Tree Centre in Erdington, a city council-run care centre providing support and services for people with dementia.
