Blades, an ambassador for the King’s Foundation, paid tribute to Charles, saying: ‘He’s the new King but he’s also about community, he’s always been about community, always been forward thinking about what we’re doing about the environment but also including community members.<\/p>\n
‘So to have this group of people here, that’s just unbelievable – that’s part of him, that’s what he does.’<\/p>\n

Charles will unveil the Coronation Food Project to coincide with his landmark day on November 14 after making an undisclosed substantial private donation to start the venture.<\/p>\n
Eight food hubs will be launched across the nation with the first four opening in London, Liverpool, Glasgow and Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n
Others will follow in Cardiff, Leeds, Birmingham and Milton Keynes. Dame Martina Milburn will oversee the project after finishing her tenure as chief executive of The Prince’s Trust, the charity Charles set up to help young people.<\/p>\n
