It’s an annual event and previous royal visitors in recent years include the Queen & Prince Philip in 2008, Princess Anne the Princess Royal in 2010 and Prince Charles and Camilla in 2006.
The Great Yorkshire Show is organised by the Yorkshire Agricultural Society (patron HRH Prince Charles) and takes place this year on Tuesday to Thursday, 12 – 14 July 2011 at the Great Yorkshire Showground in Harrogate.
