Princess Anne to visit Royal Norfolk Show

Tens of thousands of people typically attend the county showpiece event, which has had a two-year hiatus

Organisers said they are "thrilled" the Princess Royal will visit this year's Royal Norfolk Show.

The two-day event at the Royal Norfolk Showground, near Norwich, was cancelled in 2020 and last year, due to Covid-19.

Princess Anne will meet exhibitors, show-goers and stewards on its first day, 29 June.

Mark Nicholas of the Royal Norfolk Agricultural Association said it had a "very close" connection with the Royal Family.
