Charles Backs National Trust
The National Trust enjoyed a boost today as His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales began a second day of engagements in Northern Ireland with a visit to Mount Stewart House and Gardens.
Prince Charles became Patron of the conservation charity the National Trust in 2003, supporting its role to promote the permanent preservation for the benefit of the nation of places of beauty or historic interest.
He was welcomed to the estate on the Ards Peninsula by David Lindsay Lord-Lieutenant of Co Down and went on to meet Roy Bailie, National Trust Regional Chairman, Hilary McGrady Northern Ireland Director, Jon Kerr Property Manager and Eoin Lane, Lead Gardner.
The Queen's oldest son then enjoyed a tour of the unique and extensive gardens that were transformed by Edith, Lady Londonderry in the 1920s. The Prince of Wales also had the opportunity to meet garden staff and volunteers.
Yesterday, the Royal Ulster Society's premier show had royal support with a relaxed visit to the prestigious south Belfast agricultural event by the Prince of Wales.
He arrived in Northern Ireland on Wednesday and travelled to the Royal Ulster Agricultural Show (RUAS) at the King's Hall complex to be greeted by a number of dignitaries including the city's Lord Mayor - and now MP - Naomi Long and Dame Mary Peters, the Lord Lieutenant of Belfast.
He toured the stands and meet livestock exhibitors, judges and stewards and also viewed the flower arranging, bee keeping and Young Farmers Club (YFC) exhibits.
Prince Charles also presented prizes to breed champions in the course of the afternoon.
