Meet the Natives . These islanders feel they have a special bond with England and it was clearly an extraordinary experience for them to come here and be made welcome in a Norfolk family pig farm and take part in local activities. I saw no sign of any patronising attitudes towards them.
They were amenable, appreciative, polite, charming and honourable. Local people clearly enjoyed their company and did their best to make their stay as pleasant as possible. Excellent TV and a welcome change from the usual Western visitors to remote locations.
I only hope that the islanders' stay in Manchester - next week's programme - will maintain their obvoius pleasure to be here. I wonder if they did meet their idol, Prince Philip, before they went home?
