The Duke of York is coming to York Minster on February 2 to launch a special bells appeal, Buckingham Palace has announced.
The Duke of York: bells visit
The Duke will also be visiting St Olave's School, the junior school at St Peter's School, to open Wentworth, an extension providing new boarding facilities for girl boarders.
The school and Minster today declined to give further details at this stage of the visit.
Prince Andrew has been a regular visitor to Yorkshire in recent times, most recently last month when he visited a restored tithe barn at Poppleton. He also visited the flood-stricken communities of Malton, Norton and Stamford Bridge last spring.
The Duke is expected back at the Minster again in the summer when the York Millennium Mystery Plays, of which he is patron, are performed. He became a patron last year of the St William's Foundation, a York-based charity aimed at improving the quality of life for people in the region.
