The Duke of Edinburgh has met young people in Crawfordsburn in a celebration of youth awards from north and south of the border.

Prince Edward, who has been hearing from participants completing their Duke of Edinburgh Awards (DofE), visited the Scout Centre near the County Down town on Thursday morning.

The two-day trip is to mark the 25th anniversary of the collaboration between the award, Duke of Edinburgh's International Award and Gaisce - The President's Award, Ireland's equivalent.

Since 1999, participants can choose which award to receive after completing a programme of activities including outdoor education and volunteering for a cause.
