Autumn sunshine blessed a Royal visit to one of Surrey's best-known farm shops, marking 30 years of glorious grocery sales.
The higgledy-piggeldy world of Fanny's Farm welcomed Sophie, the Countess of Wessex, for tea and treats to celebrate their special anniversary.
During her 90-minute stay on Thursday (October 15), the Queen's daughter-in-law enjoyed a Surrey ploughman's lunch in the teashop, walked around the vegetable plots and paused to study rows of home-made jams.
She also took a liking to Burt and Ernie, two Vietnamese pot-bellied pigs who rolled around in appreciation after receiving a royal pat on the back.
In a smart black dress, the Countess drove herself to the charmingly eccentric establishment accompanied by two ladies-in-waiting and a security officer.
