Scillonian children are just some of the islanders preparing for the visit of Prince Edward on Wednesday.

His Royal Highness arrives on the islands on Wednesday where he will visit the Five Islands School and meet some of the island’s children.

The prince will then make his way to Bryher and visit the newly refurbished Hell Bay Hotel before perhaps catching something for his tea when he will go fishing off Shipman’s Head.

Finally Prince Edward will officially open the refurbished Tourist Information Centre on St Mary’s.
