HRH The Duke of Gloucester visits Royal Blind

HRH watches a performance by the children of The Royal Blind School

 

Our Royal Charter status was awarded in 1898 so this year we were delighted when HRH The Duke of Gloucester agreed to become our new Patron.

 

 

In September HRH The Duke of Gloucester visited Royal Blind and toured The Royal Blind School and Braeside House. Here are a selection of photographs from the recent visit.
