Princess Anne also visited the home of the Royal Jersey Agricultural and Horticultural Society in Trinity, the Magistrate’s Court and the Gervaise Le Gros Centre at St Aubin, which is a satellite clinic of Family Nursing and Home Care.

The Princess also visited Durrell on her seven-hour visit to Jersey. The Queen’s only daughter is patron of the Durrell Wildlife Trust, which celebrates its 50th anniversary next year.
