Excitement as royal helicopter touches down in Bristol field for Queen Camilla's visit

A community hub felt "proud" to host Queen Camilla as her helicopter touched down in Bristol - but said she didn't stick around to enjoy one of their bargain breakfasts. HRH visited the city last week for her first solo trip since the Coronation, with one of the royal helicopters seen touching down at the Port of Bristol Sports and Community hub (POB).

Queen Camilla was escorted out of the G-XXEB Royal Air Force (RAF) helicopter last Thursday. Dan Clifton, who chairs POB, a local community and sports hub in Shirehampton, said he had been notified of a royal visit to their grounds some months ago but had been sworn to secrecy.

Inspections were carried out on the grounds prior to the helicopter landing but he was only informed an hour in advance that the royal visitor was the newly crowned Queen. Mr Clifton and the team at POB are known for providing bargain breakfasts and free meals to school children during holidays and were hoping to invite Queen Camilla inside for a bite to eat.
