The King will be visiting the Harris Museum, followed by a walkabout on the Flag Market as well as a visit to a ‘local jacket potato business’ - believed to be Spud Bros.

At the museum, His Majesty will view the United Kingdom’s longest Foucault pendulum, a suspended weight on a wire which demonstrates the Earth’s rotation.

Charles will then view the Preston North End Football Club exhibit as part of the Discover Preston exhibition that showcases the city’s history.

His Majesty will then visit The Harris’s Reading Room, where The King will meet local volunteers and community workers including members from the Vault Youth Zone, a Preston-based youth centre which helps young people build confidence through sports, arts and employability programmes.

The Sovereign will also go to The Foxton Centre, a local charity which provides youth and community programmes, women’s services and supported accommodation; and Cancer Help Preston and The Rosemere Cancer Foundation, two city-based charities working to support cancer patients and their families and carers.

Outside the museum in Preston's Flag Market, there will be a performance by the Preston Mela dancers.

His Majesty will also tour a number of market stalls before greeting members of the public.

A spokesman for the King added: “ The King will then have the opportunity to meet representatives from a local jacket potato business.”
