William shows off football skills
Prince William demonstrated his footballing skills during a kickabout with school children.
He visited St Aidan's Church of England Primary School in Blackburn, Lancashire, to take part in the Football Association's Skills Programme.
His football skills were rated as "all right" by children he practised alongside.
William, who is president of the Football Association, practised his football dribbling technique alongside Nathan Brown.
Nathan, 11, said: "Not everyone gets to have a kickabout with him. It's a lifetime opportunity, it's not every day someone gets to meet a prince."
Hayley Probert, 11, said: "It was really exciting to meet the future King. He started talking to me about football and what teams we support. He supports Aston Villa."
St Aidan's is involved in the FA Tesco Skills Programme, which aims to give one million children in England top-quality skills coaching by 2010.
William was accompanied by the FA Director of Football Development, Sir Trevor Brooking.
Sir Trevor said: "We want to try and get the youngsters to participate and see that it's not too judgmental early on. It's about having a bit of fun with your friends."
William was greeted with applause by an enthusiastic crowd, and obliged a member of the crowd's plea to "shake my grandma's hand" before departing.
