Queen Elizabeth II' s youngest son His Royal Highness Prince Edward visited Newcastle city centre to meet local people who played a role at his mother's funeral and in the commemorations following her death.
The Prince was greeted by Year 5 pupils from Hotspur Primary School as he spent time at Newcastle City Library, before crossing Northumberland Street and heading to Brunswick Methodist Church. In a packed schedule, he met representatives from the police, ambulance and fire and rescue services along with charity figures from charities like the Salvation Army and the British Red Cross.
Arriving in Newcastle, he was greeted by children from Hotspur Primary School, while the Lord Mayor of Newcastle showed him an exhibition in the library featuring Queen Elizabeth's visits to the city over the last seven decades. At the library Prince Edward then spent time with council emergency planning staff who helped co-ordinate the events which followed the Queen's death.
