William and Kate dust off old Yukon telegraph to send tweet

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge greet the Canadian Rangers in Whitehorse on Tuesday

The coin features a full-colour reproduction of photographer Chris Jelf's portrait of the family, framed by an outer rim that has four engraved maple leaves to represent each member of the family.

At Carcross, a community ringed by snow-capped mountains about 70 kilometres south of Whitehorse, William and Kate climbed aboard a restored steam locomotive that dates back to the era of the Yukon Gold Rush.

Despite its unusual appearance William and Kate tucked into the geoduck - a giant saltwater clam - at a food and wine festival in British Columbia (BC) and appeared to enjoy the experience. And for TRH's special @UBC jerseys!

The sun was out for the royal visit, but it was only was chilly 2 C. "I've never seen it before".

Kate turned down the whisky, but tried their cassis - a blackcurrant liqueur - instead, which she said was "like sloe gin". They will then walk to the Elders Lodge, where Prince William marks the dedication of the rainforest, as part of the Queen's Commonwealth Canopy initiative, and deliver remarks.

Chief Bill and Chief Kane welcome TRH to the Kwanlin Dun Cultural Centre for tonight's showcase of Yukon's thriving performing arts. I'm very glad you did not surprise us with a vindaloo.

The official Royal tour of Canada is underway with Prince William and Kate Middleton embarking on a visit to British Columbia with their children Princess Charlotte and Prince George from 24 September to 1 October. Their children, George and Charlotte, remained in Victoria being cared for by their nanny.

Thank you to the @RCAF_ARC who flew the family safely to Victoria. As they walked in, an announcer declared to a burst of applause, "Please welcome, all the way from the United Kingdom, standing at 6-foot-3-inches and 5-foot-9-inches - or 5-foot-11-inches including high heels - the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge!".
