Delving into our picture archives we have unearthed these images of a visit to Newport by King George VI, his wife the then Queen Elizabeth and the young Princess Elizabeth back during the Second World War in 1944.
During the visit the royal party visited Newport's civic centre and also Lysaghts in the then town.
