Flag flying schoolchildren will line the streets of Pembroke Dock to welcome the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall to the town on Monday.

Cllr Brian Hall said: "We hope that children and adults will turn out to give the royal visitors a very special welcome.

"They can see them as they drive through Bush Street, Commercial Row, Melville Street and the Royal Dockyard."

The royal car will enter the Dockyard through the old entrance, giving the Prince a chance to view some of the restored historic buildings.

Their Royal Highnesses will arrive at the Garrison Chapel at 11.10am.

At 11.25am, they will be driven to the Prince's Trust Cymru Activity Centre at Cleddau Reach, where they will meet youngsters and instructors and see some of the activities in which they are involved.

The Prince and the Duchess will leave the centre at 1pm and will fly by helicopter to Cardigan Castle and then go on to St Dogmaels.

One little girl had been hoping to make the royal visit a special occasion.

Six-year-old Melanie Richards, a pupil of Pennar Infants School, Pembroke Dock, wanted to present the Prince of Wales with a portrait of the Queen, which she had drawn for the Queen's 80th birthday.

But she has now been told it has been lost.

Melanie won second place in the under tens section in a Sunday Express competition to commemorate Her Majesty's birthday.

But headteacher, Pat Benson, said: "We were hoping to colour photocopy the picture so that Melanie could give it to the Prince.

"But when Melanie's mother contacted the paper to get the picture back, she was told that all the entries had been lost.

"It's so disappointing for Melanie."
