The Earl of Wessex was in Sheffield today, visiting the Sheffield Royal Society for the Blind (SRSB) where he officially opened the newly rebuilt Mappin Street facility after making a tour of the building and meeting staff and clients. He was then presented with a memento of his visit before unveiling a commemorative plaque. 

After lunch in the Town Hall, the Prince then stopped off at Tudor Square to see the progress of the re-development work currently taking place.

With microphones and plaque unveiling systems provided by CVC event services, further information on the work of Sheffield Royal Society for the Blind can be found at www.SRSB..org.uk.
