In pictures: Day two of Prince Charles' Irish visit
- Published
The Prince of Wales has been attending a number of engagements on the second day of his four-day visit to the island of Ireland.
In a speech at a civic reception in Sligo, the Prince of Wales spoke of how the 1979 IRA murder of his great-uncle Lord Mountbatten gave him a profound understanding of how people affected by the Troubles suffered. He would later visit Mullaghmore, where Lord Mountbatten and three others were killed.
Prince Charles later met former Irish President Mary McAleese at a service of peace and reconciliation at St Columba's Church in Drumcliffe.
The royal couple also visited the grave of Irish poet WB Yeats at the church.
While the royal couple were being shown around Drumcliffe, these Civil Defence workers tried to catch a glimpse.
Caitriona Yeats, granddaughter of WB Yeats, showed Prince Charles and his wife Camilla medals and scrolls belonging to her grandfather during the royal couple's visit to The Model cultural centre in Sligo.
The prince was also given a tour of the Institute of Technology in Sligo
