The start of their final day yesterday was delayed after bad weather affected their travel, with their arrival in Galway put back after fog in the Dublin area caused problems with their helicopter departure.

After visiting the Tribeton restaurant, the couple later went to Tig Coili, a family-owned, traditional Irish pub in Galway city centre, where they met local Galwegians who volunteer to promote the city and its people.

They brought the tour to a close yesterday by trying out traditional Gaelic sports, with Kate gasping as she whacked a hurling ball into the sky.
