🌾🚜 Yesterday, The Duchess of Edinburgh as Honorary President of @LEAF_Farming visited farmers at the Leckford Estate in Hampshire ahead of Open Farm Sunday on 7th June.

Open Farm Sunday, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, has given over 3.5 million people the opportunity to visit working farms, meet the people who produce their food and learn more about the vital role farming plays in the environment, the economy and rural communities.

Her Royal Highness joined the LEAF team at the farm, helping set up a haybale maze and hanging welcome banners around the site.

“Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.” – A. A. Milne

As we mark the 100th anniversary of the beloved Winnie-the-Pooh stories, The Queen has presented a very special gift to the New York Public Library, reuniting baby Roo with his friends from the 100 Acre Wood.

The Library is home to the original collection of toys owned by Christopher Robin Milne, son of A.A. Milne, which inspired the characters in the beloved Winnie-the-Pooh series. The collection is missing Roo, the baby kangaroo who was lost in an orchard in the 1930s.

The new addition of Roo was created by Shropshire-based company Merrythought, who also created the original toys.

👀 Watch Roo’s great adventure travelling from Buckingham Palace onboard Their Majesties’ flight to his new home in New York.

🌱 Growing friendship and connection…

Set against Strangford Lough, Ards Allotments was founded by owner Maurice after he was inspired by watching His Majesty, then Prince of Wales, visit an allotment on the news.

🥕 Today, The King visited Maurice and the other volunteers, gardeners and growers who use the space not only to grow fresh produce, but also to forge connections, boost wellbeing and share skills.

The red squirrel is an endangered species in Britain, despite being the country’s only native squirrel breed.

🐿️ The King, Patron of The Red Squirrel Survival Trust, has long supported efforts to restore the red squirrel population.

His Majesty visited a conservation initiative developed by the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA), which aims to humanely control grey squirrel numbers and support the recovery of the UK’s red squirrel population.

At the APHA site in Yorkshire, The King met scientists and researchers working on a new oral contraceptive project designed to slow the growth of grey squirrel populations, which threaten both red squirrels and Britain’s native broadleaf woodlands.
