Sunabout the "
extraordinary" moment a convoy of luxury cars pulled up at the eatery."There was massive security and
everyone was wondering who on earth had turned up– then we realised it was the duke," the onlooker said. It is not thought that the Queen's husband, 93, ordered any food while in the restaurant, although members of his team reportedly bought coffee.Even the
Little Chef's £10.99 Royal Breakfastcouldn't tempt the royal – "Next time he might go for that," a spokesman for the chain commented.Philip was on his way to the
Lowther Showwhen he made the pit-stop. He is the patron of the countryside event and has missed only a handful of shows since they began 35 years ago.The duke joined an estimated
60,000 spectators over the three daysat the show, during which he helped to judge the carriage driving competition.
