A family-run farm has affectionately named their new micropigs after members of the Royal Family.
Knotts of Tempsford dedicated the names Charles, Camilla, William and Kate to their new juliana micropigs.
Visitors can now meet the farm’s new VIPs (Very Important Pigs) as part of its ‘Meet the Pig’ experience.

"The King also has a connection to Tempsford, having visited the village to unveil the War Memorial a few years back.
“It seemed fitting to name our notable new arrivals after him and his family!”
