Kate Middleton has made a surprise appearance at a farm in Northern Ireland.

The Duchess of Cambridge visited The Ark Open Farm in Newtownards, near Belfast, as part of the tour to promote her landmark UK-wide survey, '5 Big Questions on the Under-Fives'.

The mother-of-three spoke with children from two local nurseries and helped the youngsters bottle-feed a lamb, pat turtles and snakes.
