THE Duchess of Cornwall is to pay a visit to Launceston — once Cornwall's proud capital — next week.

The Duchess will be in the town on Tuesday (March 15) to open officially the Town Hall (11am — 12 noon) following a £1-million re-furbishment and improvement and visit the Duchy Desserts Factory (12.10pm — 1.15pm) at Pennygillam Industrial Estate, where she will be given a guided tour and meet some of the staff.

For the full details of her visit, see his week's edition of the 'Post'.
