Prince visits wood and takes tea

The Prince of Wales is visiting West and North Yorkshire on Friday.

Prince Charles will be in East Keswick near Wetherby at lunchtime where he will meet representatives of the East Keswick Wildlife Trust.

He will be shown Ox Close which is an ancient woodland where charcoal is made and sold.

Later, the prince will go on a walkabout to meet some of East Keswick's 1,400 residents.

Special loaf

He will then leave for Harrogate and the famous Betty's tea rooms, a place he has personally requested to visit.

The family business , which was founded in 1919, was one of the first in the country to be presented with the Queen's Award for Enterprise and Sustainable Development.

He will be presented with a special loaf in the shape of his emblem, the Prince of Wales Feathers.

During his visit the prince will also meet some of the cafe's regular customers.
