HRH, The Duchess of Cambridge arrived at the Ark Open Farm near Bangor on a very cold but sunny morning for a surprise visit. She was met by the owners, Stewart & Lorraine Donaldson & their adult children who help manage the farm. The Duchess spent the next hour & a half  meeting local mums & children & talking to the various farm animals, all of whom were friendly and showed due respect! This even included a snake. At the end of the visit she was given an enormous bunch of flowers by Lorraine.

The Duchess meets the owner, Lorraine Donaldson & her daughter, the manager Lindy Birse with her husband, son & son-in-law in the background  

Is he showing proper respect?

The Lord Lieutenant of County Down
Clerk to The Lieutenancy
