The Duchess of Gloucester has completed her whirlwind tour of Bermuda, during which she took in official military engagements and tours of the Island’s various charities and organisations.

The Duchess is the Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal Bermuda Regiment and has been on the Island to take part in the weekend events marking its 50th anniversary.

She appeared relaxed and content during the last formal engagement of her three-day visit yesterday afternoon as she was given a tour of WindReach Recreational Village by the organisation’s executive director, Erica Fulton.

Ms Fulton said the Duchess was “incredibly interested” in all aspects of the facility and asked a wide variety of questions.

After being introduced to Ms Fulton, along with WindReach’s chairman Stewart Ritchie and trustee Dudley Cottingham, she spoke to members of staff and service users at the facility.

The tour began with the art classes and the Duchess talked with instructor Kendra Burgess before learning about the dog training, gardening, boccia and horse-riding programmes on offer.

On Saturday afternoon, the Duchess paid a visit to Charities House to recognise the good work of Family Centre and Scars.

She spent a couple of minutes greeting and talking with charity staff, including Family Centre executive director Martha Dismont and Scars chairman Jon Brunson, before being given a tour of the Point Finger Road facility.

Perhaps the grandest function during her visit was the spectacle of the Bermuda Tattoo on Saturday evening at the Royal Naval Dockyard, which demonstrated the musical and military precision of the Regiment.

Other highlights of her busy schedule included her visit to Westgate Correctional Facility, the Royal Salute Watch Demonstration at Warwick Camp and her visit to Oracle Team USA’s America’s Cup base.

Throughout her visit she has been accompanied by Governor George Fergusson and his wife Margaret.

The Duchess left the Island last night on the British Airways flight.
