The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall will visit the headquarters of the Canadian Pacific Fleet as they continue their tour of Canada.

Charles and Camilla will meet senior naval staff and learn about the warships which patrol the waters off the coast of British Colombia.

The Canadian navy celebrates its 100th anniversary next year. Until 1910, Canada showed little interest in naval affairs with its waters protected by British warships but on May 4 1910, with a major conflict brewing in Europe, the Canadian government passed the Naval Service Act which gave birth to its own naval force.
