Britain’s Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall have been greeted by schoolchildren in Co Tyrone at the start of a visit to Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles and Camilla became the first members of the British royal family to visit Cookstown on Tuesday, which boasts one of the longest high streets in all of Ireland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of the more than a mile-long main street was cordoned off to traffic and lined with hundreds of schoolchildren waving Union flags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The royal couple went on a walkabout to meet well-wishers, as well as being introduced to local business people and community members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They visited Superstars Cafe, a center that helps train and provide employment for 20 young people with learning difficulties, where they met staff, volunteers and trainees before unveiling a plaque marking the date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles and Camilla are at the start of a four-day visit to the island of Ireland, with the final two days to be spent in the Republic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are also due to travel to all the nations in the United Kingdom during Queen Elizabeth\u2019s Platinum Jubilee year.<\/p>\n
