King Charles and Queen Camilla in Limavady during NI Royal visit

King Charles III and Queen Camilla have visited Limavady as part of a second day of engagements on their visit to Northern Ireland.

The King and Queen started their day in the north west and were welcomed by members of the local community in the Market Street area of the town.

Young and old lined the streets to wave Union flags and cheered as the royal couple arrived.

Among the crowd was six-year-old cocker spaniel Lily, whose owner Nadine Connor dressed her in a knitted crown for the occasion.

The royal couple’s tour of the town included a visit to local business, Hunters Bakery, which is 200 years old.

Inside, the King and Queen met long-serving staff, some of whom have worked there for 40 years, and were also treated to a demonstration of how to make Ulster Scots crumpets.

They both took turns at flipping crumpets.

The couple also cut a cake to mark the 200th anniversary of the business, with both ensuring they had a taste before saying their farewells.

The King and Queen then took a brief walk along Market Street.

They then moved to Roe Valley Arts and Culture Centre, where they viewed a presentation of arts, including glass work, photography, a willow artist and ceramicist.

Hosted by Leona Kane, the King and Queen then undertook a short tour of Broighter Gold.

Broighter Gold was established 14 years ago and is now one of the UK’s best-known rapeseed oil suppliers.

The business is named after the Broighter ‘Hoard of gold’, which was discovered on their land in 1896.
