Princess Anne, the Princess Royal, will visit a Lancaster village later this week.

She will be in Abbeystead on Friday (October 2), where in her capacity as Patron of the British Association of Shooting and Conservation, she will join children taking part in the “Let’s Learn Moor” educational project on the Abbeystead Estate.

The project covers moorland conservation and grouse moor management and is marking its tenth anniversary.

The 18,000-acre estate was bought in 1980 by the then Duke of Westminster and is now owned by his son, Hugh Grosvenor, the current duke.

Among those greeting the Princess Anne will be the Mayor and Mayoress of Lancaster, Councillor and Mrs Colin Hartley.

While in Lancashire, the Princess will also  present new banners to the Combined Cadet Force at Rossall School in Fleetwood.
