Royal couple celebrate Marley life

The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall have celebrated the life and music of Jamaica's most famous son - Bob Marley.

Charles and Camilla joined the star's widow Rita Marley at a mini concert staged in the grounds of the musician's former home turned museum in Kingston.

The singer, guitarist and activist's phenomenal success made reggae music popular across the globe and brought international attention to the Caribbean island of Jamaica.

The royal couple, who are touring the Caribbean, were greeted by Mrs Marley under a statue of the star in the grounds of the museum opened in May 1986.
