Tour veteran Charles applauded
Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall exchange smiles as they sit on a podium at Gagetown Canadian Army base, near Fredericton, on the second day of a four- day Diamond Jubilee tour of Canada.
It is the Prince of Wales’s 16th tour of Canada in the last 40 years, a fact he remarked upon to visiting crowds, drawing a warm round of applause.
“I am greatly looking forward to talking to members and veterans of Her Majesty’s Canadian armed forces in a few moments and to recognise their particular form of service to the nation,” he added.
