The King is beginning a two-day visit to Yorkshire which will see him unveil a statue of his late mother as well as congratulate the UK’s newest city. The visit will begin in Bradford on Tuesday at the headquarters of the Morrisons supermarket chain.
Charles will be shown the firm’s farming, sustainability and retail initiatives including their rare breed programme and recently launched carbon-neutral eggs. He will also hear about the supermarket’s approach to helping customers with the cost-of-living crisis and visit the company’s development kitchen.
The King will then move on to a reception for young leaders at Bradford City Hall. He will be welcomed to Centenary Square by a performance from The City of Bradford Brass Band and students from the Punjabi Roots Academy playing the dhol, a double-headed drum.
