Princess Anne has spent the day in Northern Ireland, beginning her visit in Londonderry where she officially opened the new multi-million pound Foyle College.

The royal visitor then headed to Ballykelly for a very special engagement.

Princess Anne is master of the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers, one of the Twelve Great Livery Companies of the City of London and among the most ancient of the City Guilds.

They have a centuries old association with the village of Ballykelly, which owes much of its architectural heritage to the Fishmongers, as Gareth Wilkinson reports.
