PRINCE OF WELLIES: Charles on his unusual transport during this week’s visit to Somerset
PRINCE Charles pulled his wellies on and went to see what was happening in the Somerset floods.
People were delighted to see him.
To get him through the water, they gave him a splendid bench – decorated with greenery – plonked on the back of a trailer, which made him look like the runner-up in a carnival float.
But he’s given £50,000 to help people cope with the floods. And at least he was there, to see for himself – unlike most of the politicians still warm and dry in Westminster.
