Singer Joss Stone delighted locals with a live performance at a community in Lesotho supported by the charity set up by Prince Harry.
The former Uffculme School pupil is traveling the globe with her Total World Tour, a unique venture that sees her perform in countries not used to visits from touring pop stars.
Arriving in Lesotho, Joss, who was raised in Ashill, near Cullompton, delighted locals with a live performance before paying a visit to impoverished communities that have been assisted by Sentebale, the charity set up by Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso of Lesotho to help those affected by extreme poverty, HIV and AIDS.
In high spirits during her visit, the 27-year-old star met school children and mingled with welcoming townsfolk as she continues with her endeavour to visit every country on the continent.
Speaking to Hello! about her Lesotho trip, she said: "It has been amazing to come here on this trip and see the work first hand.
"Prince Harry is such a good, genuine person so when he or Prince William ask me to do anything, I know it's coming from a good place and I pay attention.
"Coming here, you realise it's not going to fix the whole of Lesotho, but it'll fix a lot for a lot of people."
Joss will be performing in countries including Tunisia and Slovakia, as well as Australia, America and the United Arab Emirates.
Explaining her decision to expand the touring horizons, Joss writes on her official tour website: "A world tour should mean a world tour, no one country is more important than another.
"Yet historically touring is kept to the countries that can be the most profitable for the artist."
