Charles arrived at the city by royal train, and walked to the newly restored St George’s Hall where he met with notable local figures and members of the public. After meeting Royal Patron of the Hall, the Duke of Gloucester, the prince was reunited with restoration project manager Dave Lacey, who had showed Charles the building 20 years ago when it was in desperate need of repair. The prince was delighted with the work, saying the hall had been ’splendidly restored’. Charles was bestowed with an Honorary Fellowship by Liverpool John Moores University before delivering a keynote speech at the Roscoe Lecture in which he urged the audience to live in harmony with the environment. Eco-friendly Charles said: ‘I believe that true ’sustainability’, to use a now common word, depends fundamentally upon us shifting our perception and widening our focus, so that we understand, again, that we have a sacred - yes, a sacred - duty of stewardship of the natural order of things.’ The prince stressed that society needs to ‘rediscover a sense of harmony with nature’. He added: ‘We are in danger of being like the analogy of the poor frog. Had he been thrown into a pot of boiling water he would have jumped straight out again.
‘But he was put into a pot of lukewarm water and the heat was only slowly increased so that, without noticing it, he slowly boiled to death.’ Charles’ speech was followed by a private reception before he was invited to unveil a plaque to mark the re-opening of the iconic building.
The prince spent the rest of his day meeting with school children and various local community groups - representing Liverpool’s vast cultural diversity.
The visit ended with a special thanksgiving service at Liverpool Cathedral.
