The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall will return to the UK today with plenty to remind them of their trip to Kilkenny yesterday.
The Royal couple were gifted a number of mementos of their visit including an Irish sheepswool throw from Cushendale in Graiguenamanagh, Glass from Jerpoint, an organic willow basket handmade by Eamon Tobin from Tullagher, produce from Highbank orchard and ceramics from the students they met in Grennan.
Meanwhile the Cathaoirleach of Kilkenny County Council Matt Doran has thanked those who came out to see Charles & Camilla yesterday.
Councillor Matt Doran says the whole day ran like clockwork from start to finish paying tribute to the Gardai, Defence forces & council officials that helped to make it happen.
And he said the people of Kilkenny were exemplary during the whole visit.
Meanwhile Kilkenny’s Paul Smithwick will be given an OBE in Dublin today before the Royal couple depart for the UK.
Paul who was instrumental in getting the Royal visitors to come to Kilkenny was announced in the Queens list of honours for 2017 back in December.
The honour will be bestowed on him at a special private ceremony in the Capital today.
