The King walked around Kinross meeting people on the street before touring the community day centre marking its 40th year
Hundreds of well-wishers including scores of Saltire-waving schoolchildren lined the streets of Kinross to catch a glimpse of the King on a visit to a community day centre.
Inside the day centre, dozens of senior citizens gave Charles an enthusiastic three cheers as he unveiled a plaque to mark its 40th anniversary. He was also heard to joke to a group sitting at one table: “At least they don’t make you do the washing up.” Reflecting on her chat with the King, Ms Smith said: “He was charming to speak to. He was very interested in the centre and how my parents started it and the family connection.”
Addressing Charles, he said: “Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, as we begin the 40th anniversary celebrations of this fantastic facility, and 40 years of care in the community, we’re greatly honoured and encouraged by your visit.” He was given an overview of the charity’s work while looking over the organisation’s food store within an outbuilding at the church, which Ms Slight explained was bought for just £1 when the group was founded.
