Prince Charles spends day in Yorkshire before meeting his grandson

Prince Charles put his royal duties before family ties and celebrations today and kept all his diary dates with expectant crowds from the outskirts of York right across to Bridlington.

As the world waited for the first glimpse of Kate and William and the Prince of Cambridge - Charles and Camilla were tucking into fish and chips and crab cakes on the east coast.

Kate's parents Carole, and her father Michael who was born in Leeds, have already visited their grandson, describing him as "absolutely beautiful"
