The Duchess of Cambridge charmed children and parents during a surprise visit to the Ark Open Farm in Newtownards, Northern Ireland. Earlier, Kate had handled a corn snake named Sophie and was given a guided tour of the farm in Co Down, meeting the owners and staff at the family-run attraction. The visit came to an end with the duchess unveiling a plaque to mark the 30th birthday of the Ark. Report by Blairm.
