The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall today visited Northern Ireland to thank individuals who have gone the extra mile during the pandemic.
At the Ulster Museum in Belfast, Their Royal Highnesses met nursing and midwifery graduates who completed their courses early to help respond to the pandemic.
The Prince and The Duchess also toured the Florence Nightingale exhibition - this year marks the 200th anniversary of Nightingale’s birth.
In Co. Antrim, The Prince of Wales visited Henderson Foods, who have been distributing food and grocery-related products for over 100 years.
During the pandemic, its staff worked to meet unprecedented demand to keep supermarket shelves stocked. The company has also taken part in a number of voluntary projects with five Belfast food banks and helped to provide meals to hospital staff.
Meanwhile in Belfast, The Duchess of Cornwall visited Belfast and Lisburn Women’s Aid Head Office to meet women who have been supported by the charity. In common with the rest of the UK, domestic violence has increased in Northern Ireland during the pandemic.
The charity provides confidential support, information and emergency accommodation for women and children affected by domestic violence.More photos below.
