Last updated 10th May 2017
Prince Charles continued his visit to Northern Ireland today with trips to Belfast and Dromore in County Down.
The Prince and the Duchess of Cornwall first met PSNI chiefs ahead of opening a new memorial garden to officers who died in service.
The garden, based at PSNI HQ in Belfast is dedicated to the 13 officers who have died since the PSNI was founded in 2001.
There is already an adjoining memorial garden to the 300 officers from the PSNI's predecessor, the Royal Ulster Constabulary, who were killed during the Troubles.
The solemn event, which will see the royal couple meet relatives of some of the fallen PSNI officers, started the couple's second day of their four-day trip to Ireland.
The Royal couple then travelled to Co Down for a walkabout in Dromore before the Duchess visited Dromore Central Primary School which had a £11.6m new-build last year.
After fulfilling a number of other engagements in Co Down, they will travel across the border.
The Prince has officially visited the Republic four times before, most recently in May 2016.
In 2015 he and the Duchess travelled to Mullaghmore in Co Sligo where the Prince's great uncle and mentor Lord Mountbatten and three others were killed by the IRA in 1979.
Highlights of the couple's latest visit to Ireland will include an engagement at Kilkenny Castle, where they will hear some traditional music and watch a hurling demonstration by the GAA.
Charles will tour the United Nations Training School Ireland at the Curragh Camp, while Camilla will visit the Irish National Stud.
Both will attend ceremonies at Glasnevin Cemetery in Dublin to commemorate those who lost their lives in the First World War and during the Easter Rising.
Irish President Michael D. Higgins will meet the Royal couple in Dublin later on Wednesday.
While in the city the Prince will also meet Irish Taoiseach Enda Kenny and he and the Duchess will conclude their visit on Friday by attending a reception at the British ambassador's residence.
