Prince Charles turns tailor for a day

LONDON: Prince Charles visits his favourite shirt maker as part of a nationwide tour celebrating the "Best of British" engineering and manufacturing, and had a go at sewing a shirt.

Kath Cope, who showed him around, said: "I think he did pretty well really, especially for a first attempt. I'd give him a seven out of 10."

Charles, who has bought his shirts from the company for 40 years, saw all parts of the manufacturing process and was presented with a blue sea island cotton shirt inscribed to commemorate the visit.
