Royal occasion at Exeter
It has been a real royal occasion at the Westpoint showground in Exeter today.
The Duchess of Cornwall joined youngsters in baking a batch of organic rolls on the first day of the Devon County Show.
The Duchess is president of the show, and showed how to knead and shape the dough. Those present also watched her work put into a wood fuelled oven with half a dozen rolls made by the children.
She was showing off her baking skills at a mobile bakery run by organic farmer Ian Shears, from Highfield Farm, Topsham, near Exeter.
The show, which runs until Sunday is the largest agricultural show in the county calendar and acts as a showcase for Devon's food and farming industry. It is the first major county event of the year.
Tomorrow, the Duchess's food writer son, Tom Parker Bowles, will judge the show's spring sausage competition.
