In addition, it features display gardens by leading designers, around 200 trade stands (both horticultural and general), a number of charity stands, children's entertainment and the Springwood High School band.

The royal marquees host competitions in vegetables, fruit, flowers and floral art, with the entries grown by local residents.

There are also some open classes which anyone may enter.

In the amateurs' marquee, local gardening and horticultural clubs enter a display competition, which is judged, whilst the horticultural trades marquee features displays by nurseries.

The profits from each show are donated to local charities. To date, the Show Committee has given around £825,000 to good causes.

Their Majesties' attendance comes after Charles and Camilla visited Newmarket on Tuesday.

During their visit, King Charles gave a brief health update to a royal fan.

Lee Harman, 54, from Bury St Edmunds, told Wales Online: “I asked him how he was, and he said he was feeling a lot better now and that it was ‘just one of those things’.”
