Following a civic reception with Foreign Affairs Minister Charlie Flanagan, Camilla will travel to a local national school while Prince Charles gets a tour of Letterkenny IT.

Their short visit to Ireland will conclude with a trip to Glenveagh National Park where they'll be seen off by Minister Heather Humphreys.

The trip's being seen as a follow up to their arrival last year - as well as Queen Elizabeth's visit to Ireland in 2011 and President Michael D Higgins' visit to Britain in 2014.

The event aims to focus on cross border co-operation with a particular focus on the working relationship between neighbouring counties Donegal and Derry.
