The prince will officially open the newly restored Compton Verney House during a visit to Warwickshire.

Compton Verney has undergone an �64m restoration, transforming the derelict mansion and gardens into a major new art gallery.

It now houses four collections and for six months will display an exhibition by film-maker Peter Greenaway.

The prince will see some of the collections and make a speech to mark the re-opening.

He will then move on to the luxury car maker's factory in Gaydon which opened in 2003 and is currently the centre for production of the 186mph DB9 model.

The factory is also home to historic vehicles including the James Bond V12 Vanquish from the film Die Another Day and Michael Caine's 1962 DB4 convertible featured in the 1969 film The Italian Job.
