Duchess in library visit

The Duchess of Cornwall scored top marks with delighted schoolchildren yesterday as she visited a library in Northern Ireland.

Camilla is patron of the National Literacy Trust and met around 20 primary and special schoolchildren near Belfast.

She read a story and presented books to the young people at Dundonald Library as part of a visit to Northern Ireland with the Prince of Wales. The literacy trust is a charity which aims to help more than 1,100 disadvantaged children.
