Prince Charles invited his friend Alan Titchmarsh to 'come and see us soon for tea' the day before he became King.
The prince spent Wednesday hosting guests and working at Dumfries House in Cumnock, the TV gardener said.
Alan said that, after having dinner at the East Ayrshire home, the heir to the throne and his guests had coffee in a tapestry-lined gallery as “jaunty Scottish airs” were played on a guitar and penny whistle.
