After the service, The Duchess of Cornwall went to visit The Lost Food Project, an initiative to stop produce going to waste Her Royal Highness chopped up strips of papaya, giving them a squeeze of lime to enhance the flavour, and dished up plates of rice, curry and vegetables during the visit to the Lighthouse Children's Welfare Home. She said: "This looks and smells delicious, I think we should stay for lunch."
