For Amanda, who is partially-sighted and supported by her guide dog, Eddie, it means she will have to stay home every evening to protect him from his terror of fireworks, because they never know when they might go off bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2n…

A pawsome day with @guidedogs! 🐾 The Duchess of Edinburgh, Patron of Guide Dogs, enjoyed a special visit to the charity’s Reading Hub today to learn more about the services the charity provides for children with vision impairments.   🐕 The Duchess met children working to develop their independent living skills through the support and companionship of their buddy dogs, provided by Guide Dogs. A buddy dog is a canine friend that helps a child with a vision impairment build confidence, increase their physical activity, and improve their wellbeing. 🎃 The Duchess joined the children in crafting and decorating spooky halloween biscuits for their buddy dogs! [Video description: Footage from the Guide Dogs Buddy Dog Day event. A series of clips which show The Duchess of Edinburgh, Patron of Guide Dogs, talking to children and families with their buddy dogs. The Duchess takes part in Halloween sensory activities with the children including baking and crafts.]
