Prince Charles has visited a picturesque village in Carmarthenshire named the best in Wales.

While in Llanddarog he found time to pop into the White Hart pub where he raised a glass of home made ale to residents who helped earn the community the title of Village of the Year.

After watching a performance by children from the local Sunday school he then unveiled a plaque marking Llanddarog's achievements.

The prince was on day three of his four day summer tour of Wales, now a traditional date in the royal calendar.

After lunch he headed for the seaside resort of Tenby where he was given a warm welcome be hundreds of well wishers and a peck on the cheek by 12-year-old Leila May.

His first stop was the offices of the town's weekly newspaper which is celebrating its 150th anniversary.
