The start of Prince William and Kate Middleton's final day in Ireland was delayed this morning due to fog.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's morning was pushed back by over 30 minutes after fog around Dublin meant their helicopter couldn't take off.
A Government spokesman confirmed: "Fog in Dublin delayed their departure."
The couple have since arrived in the west and began their day by being given a preview of some of the arts and entertainment being featured during Galway's year as the European Capital of Culture.
The duke and duchess, who are coming to the end of a three-day tour of Ireland, will attend a special event where acts like Galway Community Circus and basketball project Hoops will be showcased.
The west coast city will see host some 1,900 events across more than 150 projects during 2020, with local and international artists taking part in the year-long extravaganza.
Later, William and Kate will visit Tig Coili, a family-owned, traditional Irish pub in Galway city centre, where they will meet local Galwegians who volunteer to promote the city and its people.
Outside, the couple will go on a walkabout, meeting members of the public gathered nearby.
They will end their tour of Ireland by visiting a local Gaelic Athletic Association club to learn more about traditional sports which are popular across Ireland, including hurling and Gaelic football.
During the visit, the duke and duchess will join children and young people from the club's teams as they take part in matches on the pitch.
