Following the news of his diagnosis today we have taken a look back at when crowds gathered to catch a glimpse of the now King Charles.
Many people in Bridport will remember meeting the then Prince of Wales when he visited the town in 2018.
Six years ago King Charles was given a tour of the newly-opened Literary and Scientific Institute (LSI) on East Street.
Hundreds of people gathered outside to catch a glimpse as he made his way into the former Bridport Library to see the finished £2m restoration project.
Following a grand tour, HRH unveiled a plaque and signed the LSI’s guestbook.
Here are some pictures from our archive of that special day:
