The sun was shining brightly for the Royal occasion, which was organised by Hillsborough Old Guard - the local history, cultural and arts society formed in 2005 by a group of people keen to preserve, promote and document the rich history of the area.

Children and adults alike enjoyed a great afternoon of music, dance, bouncy castles, face painting, food and fun, while a life-size cardboard cut-out of the happy couple gave partygoers the chance to take a few snaps and capture the special occasion.

Hillsborough Fort, which is close to Hillsborough Castle - the Royal family’s official residence in Northern Ireland - was the perfect setting for the celebratory event, funding for which was provided by Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council.
