Stagecoach has confirmed it has had to divert services after his helicopter landed on the West Links just yards from Links Terrace.

The road remained opened throughout the landing and departure of the helicopter. It is unknown why the buses were diverted.

The decision resulted in the 82 bus route being diverted up West Road and then turning left up Cairntrodlie in Peterhead. It is understood the disruption lasted a short period.

Prince Charles is also expected to visit other Aberdeenshire firms today as he continues his royal tour in the north-east.
