The Queen paid a visit to the Turriff Show today, to the delight of thousands of show goers.
The north-east agricultural event – the largest two-day event of its kind in the country – was into its second day of glorious sunshine as the Queen arrived by helicopter from Balmoral.
She toured the show’s food fayre, was presented with a hamper of local produce and even took part in Aberdeen and District Beekeepers’ Association’s ‘find the Queen Bee’ challenge.
After joining senior show officials for lunch, the Queen presented the show’s Champion of Champions award to M Bruce & Partners Ltd’s Balmaud Eclipse.
