Nine members of the Royal Family are to take part in a British Tourism Day to help boost the hard-hit industry, including engagements in North Yorkshire. The senior Royals will visit "best-of-British" attractions and beauty spots on the day.
The Duke of Kent will visit Fountains Abbey at Ripon and Newby Hall as part of the initiative. It is the first time so many Royals have got together for a so-called "theme day" to back a single aspect of British life.
