Shoprider Mobility Products - News

The Duchess of Cornwall used SHOPRIDER mobility scooter to give medals to soldiers returning from Afghanistan on May 5th, 2010 after breaking her leg out walking in Scotland.

The Duchess, who fractured her leg while hill walking in Scotland last month, presented campaign medals to soldiers from A Company 4th Battalion The Rifles on their return from a year-long deployment to Afghanistan.

She arrived at Bulford Camp, near Salisbury, Wiltshire, by official car before hopping into a wheelchair pushed by a royal aide, who negotiated her up a tricky ramp and on to a stand in order to address the packed parade ground.

She then used a pair of crutches to help get to her feet for the playing of the national anthem before transferring to her jazzy red 'Shoprider' scooter to traverse the rows of brave soldiers from A Company 4th Battalion The Rifles.

According to an aide, Camilla, 61, is recuperating well from her accident but decided to privately hire the scooter in order to help her get around more easily and has been practising on it at Raymill, her private residence in Wiltshire.....news from Daily Mail UK
