The Duke of Edinburgh was in town today, and this morning visited Broughton St Mary's Parish Church.

The Rev. Joanne Hood and Project Manager Dick Smith showed him around the newly refurbished building, of which he was Patron at the fund-raising stage.

On his half-hour tour he met local schoolchildren, teachers, parishioners and other guests connected with the Inside Out project.

Outside, curious locals sheltered from the rain before sharing a few words.
