Prince Edward has visited a Merseyside hospice.

The royal spent yesterday afternoon looking around the facilities and talking to patients at Woodlands Hospice in Fazakerley.

Edward - the Earl of Wessex - was given a guided tour by Woodlands Charitable Trust Chairman Ken Hoskisson.

He said: "He was able to spend so much time meeting and chatting to staff and volunteers who make up Woodlands."

The prince was shown the hospice's new 15-bed inpatient unit, which has been open since last summer.

Woodlands is based in Aintree Hospital and cares for people with incurable diseases.

It sees about 100 outpatients each week.
