Royal Visit: The Prince meets 'The King'

'King' Henry Shefflin gave the Prince of Wales a hurling lesson this morning in the Castle Park, while hurling manager Brian Cody showed him how to hold the hurley.

Henry was impressed with the prince's efforts, and remarked that he displayed great hand-eye coordination.

Children from local schools were also on hand to greet the royal couple.
