The Duchess of Cornwall is to join the Prince of Wales during his visit to Northern Ireland today, 24 May.

Their Royal Highnesses will undertake a joint official visit to Ireland on Wednesday, 25 May.

The Royal couple will also host a music evening at Hillsborough Castle.

They will also visit a number of local businesses, some of which work in the food and drink sector, as 2016 is the Northern Irish Year of Food and Drink.

In Donegal town, Their Royal Highnesses will celebrate the area's heritage by visiting Magee's – a local company which has been producing tweed in Donegal for 150 years.

At the Letterkenny Institute of Technology, the Prince will meet local entrepreneurs and learn more about the institute's cross border programmes, meanwhile Her Royal Highness will visit a local school.

At Glenveagh Castle, Their Royal Highnesses will tour the gardens and meet children who have been learning about some of the conservation work which takes place in the National Park.
