28 fun photos as William and Kate visit Powys ahead of St David's Day

The Prince and Princess of Wales have been photographed on a visit to Powys to celebrate community ahead of St David's Day.

William and Kate - both wearing daffodil lapel badges - are visiting Mid Wales to meet volunteers and celebrate 'community champions' in the county.

They first visited the Hanging Gardens in Llanidloes earlier today (February 26). They have been meeting the volunteers who run the centre and participating in some of the workshops and activities on offer, including preparations for St David’s Day this Sunday.

The space provides a hub for sustainable living, artistic expression and shared experiences through a cafe, performing arts centre, indoor market, community garden, kitchens and workshops.

William and Kate were next due to visit Oriel Davies, a public contemporary art gallery based in Newtown, to look at an exhibition of work produced by children and young people before joining a workshop.
