Prince William and Kate Middleton were greeted by thousands of well-wishers in Lancashire on their final public engagement before their wedding.
The couple received a warm welcome from crowds of up to 15,000 who had come to see them at Witton Country Park, in Blackburn, on Monday afternoon.
Earlier they visited Darwen Aldridge Community Academy, where Prince William formally opened the new school.
Rain failed to dampen people’s spirits and the couple were cheered on arrival.
The prince led the way, waving to the public.
Miss Middleton, who was wearing a navy blue jacket and skirt, was a few paces behind him sheltering from the rain under a black umbrella.
The downpours had stopped by the time the prince and his fiancee arrived at the sports pavilion in Witton Country Park.
