PRINCE Edward, the Earl of Wessex, will visit the Lindisfarne Heritage Centre next Thursday as part of a tour of Holy Island.
His Royal Highness will be invited to view a facsimile edition of the famous Lindisfarne Gospels as well as an electronic interactive turning pages form.
He will also be given a tour of the exhibitions of "Island Life" giving him an insight into what makes Holy Island such a unique place to live, work and visit.
The royal visitor will also learn about the efforts made by the island's community development trust to address the lack of social housing. They have already built five affordable houses to rent to local people, converted a property into two flats and are currently trying to raise funds to build another four houses.
