Britain's Prince Charles enjoyed a glass of Pimms in Somerset today (08.07.14).
The 65-year-old royal took a trip to the south west of England to meet with local residents, politicians and business owners who had fallen victim to flooding and witness firsthand how things have changed in the last five months since his visit.
Britain's Prince Charles was treated to a glass of Pimms as he met with locals in Somerset who had been affected by flooding.Spirits were high as Charles arrived at the village of Muchelney and sipped on the refreshing summer drink as he was told how the community had rallied together in the wake of the natural disaster.
The scene was a far cry from last February, when the heir to the throne first visited the location and was forced to travel on a makeshift boat due to the volume of dirty floodwater.
According to the MailOnline, villager Maxine Gryce said: "It's nice that he's come back to the area. He seems a nice man and I do think he really does care.
"When he came here last time he just put on his wellies and got in the boat like everyone else. It was almost nicer because it didn't seem like there was any health and safety or anything."
Earlier in the day, Charles toured Glastonbury Abbey with music festival founder Michael Eavis and met with key members from Visit Somerset, who are striving to prevent tourism from suffering in the wake of the flooding.
He also went to Michael Eavis Railway Station and showed his support for First Great Western's 'Be A Great Westerner' campaign to boost tourism.
