Britain's Prince Andrew is in St. Lucia for a three-day visit to help celebrate the Caribbean island's 25 years of independence.

The Duke of York arrived Friday, greeted by government officials and a police band playing "God Save the Queen" for the first time since 1979, when Princess Margaret visited for Independence Day.

During his stay, Prince Andrew was to attend a youth rally and the opening of the island's newest secondary school. He also will be the guest of honor at St. Lucia's Independence Day rally on Sunday.
