The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge enjoyed an 'away day' in Birmingham carrying out several engagements in the area.

Royal 'away days' tend to offer an interesting and varied itinerary and today was no exception. It also provides a nice opportunity for royalists in the area to see and meet members of the Royal family. Richard Palmer recently reported we would see the Duchess carrying out more engagements outside of the London area in the coming weeks; today's visit is reportedly the first of several we'll see. William and Kate first visited Birmingham months after the royal wedding in 2011 to visit riot-torn communities.
Afterwards, the royals met some of JLR's volunteers, who support projects
focusing on regeneration, education, young people, charity work and the
environment, and they will meet schoolchildren from Topcliffe Primary
School, Castle Vale – winners of the Jaguar Primary School Challenge
which saw their wining model car race on a track.
