THE DUCHESS of Cornwall greeted families from Oxfordshire this morning upon her visit to Helen & Douglas House hospice.
Her Royal Highness, who has been a patron of the children's hospice since 2007, met five families and staff in the hospice's garden.
The trip was organised so the Duchess could learn about how the children and their families had been coping throughout the pandemic.

The Duchess also viewed paper butterflies on one of the trees in the garden with messages from bereaved families to remember their children who have passed away.
Helen & Douglas House cares for local terminally ill children and their families from Oxfordshire and the surrounding counties.
They provide medical, emotional and practical support, helping families deal with the implications of living with a child who will die prematurely, so they can make the most of their time together.
Further details to follow.
