Hundreds of carers and volunteers from around Northumberland had been invited by the Duchess of Northumberland, in her role as Lord Lieutenant of Northumberland.

The Prince took his time to meet and chat to as many of the attendees as he could and said it was a joy to listen to their inspirational stories.

Some of those who met the Royal visitor are pictured here, by Gazette photographer Jane Coltman.
