King Charles beamed as he met the sweetest royal fan at the beginning of his second day of engagements in Northern Ireland. Along with Queen Camilla, the King greeted crowds of wellwishers in Limavady and stopped to say a special hello to English Cocker Spaniel Lily who was dressed in a knitted crown for the occasion.
Charles and Camilla started their day by being welcomed by members of the local community in Market Street and were greeted by a sea of supportive faces waving union flags.
The King and Queen began their three-day visit to the region on Wednesday and received a warm welcome from locals in Belfast as they toured Commercial Court and sampled some traditional whiskey in The Friend at Hand bar.
Their tour of the town also 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 on how to make Ulster Scots crumpets.
They both took a turn 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.
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.
The King and Queen then went on to visit Broighter Gold Farm and, accompanied by local farmer Johnny Blair and his family, will join a reception, hosted by the Food, Farming and Countryside Commission where he will have the opportunity to speak to local farmers, young people, and representatives from the RegenerativeFarming Leadership Programme.
The Queen will walk through the old production facilities, meeting members of staff and learning about the sustainability practices put in place by the business.
Moving to the new pressing room, Her Majesty will be invited to cut a ribbon, marking the official opening of the new factory and the upcoming 15th anniversary of Broighter Gold.
