The visit ended on a more light-hearted note however, when Charles and Camilla were invited behind the bar at the tiny inn where the Prince pulled a pint of Nel’s Best.
The frothy head on the Prince’s pint left Charles chuckling as he admitted he wasn’t a very good barman.
Game for a laugh he still sampled the beer brewed by High House Farm Brewery in Matfen, before the couple returned to their waiting helicopter.
Waved off by the watching crowds the Royal couple left an indelible impression on the tiny North Tyne community, as well as their signatures – on a roller blind in the pub!
