Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, helped bake a batch of organic rolls at the first day of a country show.

The duchess - who is married to Prince Charles - kneaded and shaped the dough and put her roll into a wood oven with six others made by children at the Devon Country Show.

She showed off her baking skills at a mobile bakery run by organic farmer Ian Shears, from Highfield Farm at Topsham, near Exeter.

Shears said: "She was very enthusiastic, very hands on - I was impressed."

About 93,000 people are expected to visit the showground over the next three days. The event is the largest agricultural show in the county calendar and acts as a showcase for Devon's food and farming industry.

Before leaving the Westpoint showground, the duchess went on an unscheduled 100-yard walkabout, to meet members of the public.

She said: "Few things can be as important as reconnecting children, and indeed adults, with the land and helping to understand how food is grown."
