Prince Charles is in the province on a two day visit

The Prince officially opened the Old Belmont School, a listed building which has been restored for community use in the east of the city.

He toured the building on Wednesday and met members of the Old Belmont School Preservation Trust and those involved in the restoration project.

He was shown a display on the history of the school, which included past pupil photographs and artefacts.

The prince was presented with a framed print of the Old Belmont School by two pupils of the neighbouring Belmont Primary School which he also visited.

Prince Charles also met staff and patients at the Marie Curie Cancer Centre on Kensington Road.
