From archery to table tennis and football keepy uppies, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge showed their sporty side on a visit to Wolverhampton.

William and Kate’s first stop was The Way Youth Zone, an organisation that provides sports, arts and recreation activities for youngsters every night of the week.

The Duke and Duchess also visited Base 25 which supports young people in the city and met pupils from Loxdale Primary School - and a variety of animals - during a visit to HugglePets in the Community.

The royal couple were helping mark Mental Health Awareness Week by spending the day in Wolverhampton to learn about projects supporting the wellbeing of the city’s young people.
