But the visit has been rearranged for later in the month after the Duke of York, who was expected to arrive by helicoper, had trouble travelling due to this morning's fog.

Children were due to show The Duke of York why Rotherham landed the title of the country’s enterprise leader when he dropped in to Herringthorpe Infants School.

He was also due to visit Rotherham College of Arts and Technology to open the new Wentworth building, before meeting representatives from the borough’s most booming businesses.
