His Royal Highness the Earl of Wessex, Prince Edward, visits Jersey today, following his trip to Guernsey and Alderney yesterday.

What can we expect from his visit? 

HRH is in the Channel Islands as part of a nationwide tour celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Duke of Edinburgh's (DofE) Award scheme.

Much of the visit is centred around meeting young islanders taking part in the award, including many doing a special Diamond Challenge. 

People came out in their droves for HRH visit to Guernsey and Alderney, so we can probably expect the same warm reception here in Jersey.

Work on a new clubhouse and changing rooms at the hockey pitch at Les Quennevais "could begin by the end of the year" after cake sales, raffles and sponsored matches helped raise enough money for the building to go ahead. 

Fundraiser David Stearn hopes the new facilities will "attract more visiting clubs to the island".
