Britain's Princess Anne is to open a new £35 million college campus.

Anne will visit Highbury College Portsmouth on October 22 to officially open the new centre, which houses state-of-the-art training facilities for vocational subjects including art and design, hair and beauty, fashion, computing, animal care, media and journalism.

We are so pleased for our students, who will have a wonderful opportunity to showcase their skills before royalty, an experience that does not present itself every day

Stella Mbubaegbu CBE, Principal and Chief Executive of Highbury College, says: "We feel very privileged to be visited by Her Royal Highness and we are certainly looking forward to showing her the realisation of our vision to make Highbury a world-class college with world-class facilities.

"We are so pleased for our students, who will have a wonderful opportunity to showcase their skills before royalty, an experience that does not present itself every day."

Anne will tour the facilities and be given the chance to talk to staff and students about their training before unveiling a commemorative plaque to officially open the campus.
