Residents of Hopeman turned out in force to welcome the Duke of York to the coastal village.

Prince Andrew was asked to officially open the village's skate park on Tuesday afternoon.

He took time to chat to some of the young people who showed off their skills for the royal guest.

The prince later enjoyed a visit to Glenfiddich Distillery in Dufftown before travelling to Inverness and the revamped Eden Court Theatre.
