Prince Charles arrives at Harrogate's Great Yorkshire Show
Prince Charles paid a surprise visit to the Great Yorkshire Show in Harrogate today.
The Prince of Wales, accompanied by his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, wowed onlookers when they arrived shortly before 12.30pm on day three of the sell-out event.
There have been several visits to the show by senior royals in recent years. In 2008 the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh met exhibitors and inspected livestock.
Princess Anne visited in 2018 and Prince Andrew attended the following year. Prince Charles' last appearance at the show was in 2011.
Charles is no stranger to Harrogate. He and Camilla opened the 50th Harrogate International Festivals in 2016 and in 2008 he reopened the Royal Hall in Harrogate after its £8 million restoration.
The Yorkshire Agricultural Society, which runs the show, has extended it for four days this year to improve social distancing.
All 26,000 tickets each day have been sold.
