There was a royal visit to Lancaster Castle today (Wednesday, September 7).
Prince Edward and Sophie, Countess of Wessex were greeted by local schoolchildren on arrival and were shown the regeneration works that have recently taken place at the Castle.
In the Castle Café, they met volunteers and refugee families who have been resettled in the local area.
They also visited the Castle’s embroidery studio.
This was the first royal visit to Lancaster Castle since the Queen was there in 2015.
