PRINCE Charles and The Duchess of Cornwall received a right Royal welcome when they visited Talgarth Mill today.

The Prince of Wales and wife Camilla attended at the mill and were greeted by local dignitaries before meeting with staff and volunteers at the community-run mill.

The couple, who are on their annual week-long tour of Wales, were shown around the mill and met local grain growers, shown how the grain is milled while the Prince bagged and even tried his hand at kneading bread.

Mike Price, who grows grain and supplies the Mill, said: "Prince Charles knows how this all works and it is a great opportunity for the mill. He took a general interest and enjoys agriculture."

The Prince also met with Talgarth Primary School pupils and the volunteer gardeners who look after the vast amount of plants and herbs at the site.

The pupils, who are all members of the school council, were making talking sticks in the garden said that Prince Charles had spoken to them about their sticks and Ella Davies, aged eight, said: "He was really nice. He said he liked my stick."

The mill, which is run mainly by a team of volunteers received lottery funding and the help of BBC one show, DIY SOS to enable it to be refurbished.

Liz Rose, manager of the mill thanked the royal couple for their visit and said: "Thank you to you both for your kind visit. I would be grateful if you would unveil the plaque to commemorate your visit."

HRH Prince Charles will be visiting Garth Village Hall later on this afternoon where he will meet local residents, members of the choir and a dance group and watch a short performance.
