Queen Camilla beamed in front of huge crowds today as she continues to step up for the Royal Family.

The Queen arrived in Shrewsbury for a visit to a Farmers' Market today, five days after Princess Kate announced her cancer diagnosis to the world.


Camilla, 76, has been performing lots of royal duties following the King and the Princess of Wales's cancer battles.

King Charles, 75, has paused public-facing duties after being diagnosed with a form of cancer last month.

The Queen received a warm welcome in Shrewsbury today, as huge crowds of people gathered in the town square to catch a glimpse of the royal.

Camilla, who wore a gorgeous camel coat, began her trip to the Shropshire town by visiting the Farmers' Market.

She received a tour and viewed its food stalls, artisan products, jewellery and craft stalls.

The Shrewsbury brass band were heard playing in the background, much to the delight of the waiting crowds.

The market has been held in the square for almost 20 years and has grown into one of the best markets in the area.

Around 40 traders regularly set up stalls on the first Friday of the month.

Many gold award-winning producers sell at the market, including an international award winner, Tootsweets confectionery from Shrewsbury.

Today's outing comes as Queen Camilla and King Charles confirmed their attendance for this weekend's Easter Sunday service.

Despite stepping back from duties to receive cancer treatment, the King will attend St George's Chapel on Sunday for the religious service.

The King and Queen are expected to be joined by other members of the Royal Family.

This will not include Princess Kate and Prince William, following the Princess of Wales's cancer diagnosis.

The mother-of-three expressed her wish for privacy while she receives a preventative course of chemotherapy.
