Their Majesties’ arrived in Belfast to cheers from waiting members of the public on Tuesday
The King and Queen are back in Northern Ireland for a three day visit to the region.
Charles and Camilla arrived in Belfast to cheers from waiting members of the public on Tuesday.
Their Majesties’ visit to Northern Ireland began with a vibrant celebration of music, creativity and rich, diverse cultural heritage, as the royal couple joined organisers and performers to mark Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann coming to Belfast this August, for the first time.
The Fleadh is the world’s largest festival of traditional Irish music, song and dance. Hosting the Fleadh for the first time represents a significant and historic moment for the city, bringing thousands of musicians, dancers and visitors to Belfast and shining a spotlight on the rich cultural heritage of Northern Ireland and Ireland.
The King and Queen are also visiting Titanic Distillers, a distinctive distillery housed within the restored Edwardian pumphouse that once served the adjoining dry dock, famed for holding the RMS Titanic.
During the visit, The King and Queen will meet distillery staff, learned about the whiskey‑making process and have the opportunity to bottle some whiskey, celebrating the blend of heritage, skill and enterprise that defines the distillery today.
