PRINCE Charles was greeted by large cheering crowds in Todmorden yesterday on the latest stage of his eco-tour of the country.

The Prince of Wales was in town to find out more about its pioneering environmental mission which has won worldwide applause for its approach to increasing the amount of local food grown and eaten there.

Mary Clear – the co-founder of Incredible Edible Todmorden, who accompanied Charles around the town – said: "It has been an incredible turn out. It's like everyone in the town and the whole area has come.

"I think it shows how proud everyone is about what is going on here."
