00:00Daniel Wharton with the Express and Star. We're down here in Rowley Regis outside of St Michael's
00:04C of E High School. As you can see behind me there's a pretty heavy police motorcade. There's
00:08around six police motorbikes and one 4x4 vehicle behind me right there. That's due to the fact
00:14that the Prince of Wales, Prince William, is currently in the school talking to school
00:18children at the moment, getting a feel for the local area. We're down here talking to residents
00:22to get their opinion on obviously the royal visit. We talked to one resident over the road who
00:28didn't quite know that they were there until we told them. He said he's absolutely jubilant
00:32at the idea that somebody of that high of a calibre is currently in the area talking to
00:37their local kids. He said it's a great opportunity for him to see what a real local area is like
00:42and get a feel for what local children do around here and whatnot. We're going to stick down here
00:47and see if we can get the motorcade when it's leaving. Keep up to date on the Express and Star
00:51website, see if anything else occurs while we're down here. Generally residents have said that
00:58they're extremely happy that he's down here talking to local students,
01:01talking to local residents and just making a show in the area.
