He is expected to speak to volunteers at the Luton Sikh Soup Kitchen Stand about the impact food poverty is having on the community and meet volunteers who run the Sikh School, before speaking to children learning Punjabi and traditional music.

The King is also due to visit the Luton Dart Parkway Station, learning about the new cable-drawn mass passenger transit system, which will connect the rail station to London Luton Airport.

He will be shown the control room before boarding the Dart for a three-minute trip, accompanied by staff from the construction and transport system contractors.
