CFB TRENTON, Ont. - The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall will start the second day of their royal tour at CFB Trenton in eastern Ontario, where the couple will meet members of the military and honour soldiers who lost their lives in Afghanistan.
At the base, Prince Charles is also expected to watch a search and rescue demonstration and visit military families.
The Duchess of Cornwall will meet with a regiment — the Queen's Own Riles — at a separate event.
The couple will also attend a commemoration service and participate in a wreath laying at the Afghanistan Repatriation Memorial near the base.
Between 2001 and 2014, 158 members of the Canadian Armed Forces lost their lives in Afghanistan.
Later in the day, Charles and Camilla will visit Wellington Farmer's Market in Prince Edward County, where they will meet vendors and artisans and stop in at a local winery.
