A charity shop enjoyed a royal visit when Princess Anne came to town.

As part of her Cumbrian visit, the Queen's daughter made a special trip to Windermere's Save the Children charity shop today.

She was greeted with a vast crowd lining the streets, cameras at the ready and eager for a glimpse of royalty.

The princess, who is president of the charity, was presented with a bouquet of flowers.

She was there to join together in paying tribute to a number of dedicated volunteers.

Her Windermere stop was one of a number of destinations on a busy visit to Cumbria.

She had earlier been in Warcop, near Appleby, as well as visiting Kirkby Stephen Mountain Rescue Team and Kirkby Stephen Grammar School.
