Britain's Duke of Kent has presented a town with a commemorative plaque - 100 years after it received its royal title.
The royal - who is Queen Elizabeth II's cousin - visited Royal Tunbridge Wells to celebrate its royal connections since it received its prefix in 1909.
An onlooker said: "It's wonderful to have him here to celebrate with us. We are very proud in Tunbridge Wells to have played host to so many generations of the royal family for so many years."
The town in Kent has a long history with the royal family and 10 years ago King Edward VII, Queen Victoria's son, commanded it be called Royal.
His mother spent many holidays in the spa town as a child.
The town's Chalybeate spring - which is said to have numerous health benefits - was discovered over 400 years ago and has attracted many royal guests.
Queen Henrietta Maria was the first royal to sip the waters in 1629 and Queen Anne paid to have a special colonnade - called The Pantiles - erected in the town in 1698.
