The Prince of Wales was visiting the Ryedale town of Pickering today - just days after his brother Prince Andrew was in the district visiting Helmsley.

The Prince was in Pickering to view the Victorian Railway Station

which has been restored this year at a cost of £412,000.

The Royal entourage arrived at Pickering Railway Station via the North York Moors Railway Engine the Sir Nigel Gresley.

The Prince, who arrived 45 minutes later than planned, was greeted by local dignitaries and flag waving children from Pickering Infants School.

Prince Charles was given a short tour of the station before moving on to the town's War Memorial Hall to view the progress of building work there.
