The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, Charles and Camilla, undertook a whistle-stop tour of the Isle of Man as part of the late Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations.

As part of their tour they came to Peel where clusters of onlookers gathered in a bid to catch a glimpse of the Royal couple. Residents took to the streets of the sunset city, many proudly waving red flags emblazoned with the iconic three legs of Man.

At the House of Manannan, a museum which guides visitors through the island’s rich Celtic, Viking, and Maritime past, the couple got the chance to speak to some of the island’s local food producers, including the Apple Orphanage Co, Green Mann Spring, Ellerslie Rapeseed Oil, Isle of Man Creamery, Laxey Glen Flour Mills, and Ramsey Bakery.
They viewed first-hand a stunning selection of produce and even got to try a few samples. Also at the reception were some of the island’s young farmers along with representatives from the local Prince’s Trust, the Manx Wildlife Trust, and the Manx Osteoporosis Society.

A spokesperson from the Isle of Man Post Office said of the visit: ‘Despite the Island’s inclement weather on the day, the visit still brought out, in force, the Royal fans and schoolchildren who thoroughly enjoyed seeing the Royal couple in such a momentous year for the British Royal Family.
