When King Charles III visited Glastonbury Abbey

By Emma Dance 25th Sep 2022

Do you remember when the then Prince of Wales, now King Charles III, came to Glastonbury in 2014?

King Charles III toured Glastonbury Abbey on July 8, 2014 as the first part of a visit to Somerset.

The footage of the visit can be viewed here:

Do you recognise yourself or anyone else in the film?

In the afternoon, the now King met people and businesses affected by the floods when he visited Muchelney on the Somerset Levels to see how the village was recovering since his visit back in February.

The prince met residents, politicians, and members of authorities and businesses affected by the floods earlier in the year.

Here is some footage from the visit in February 2014.

King Charles III has been vocal about his passion for sustainability for decades and he has a long history of environmental activism.
