Former US president Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, made a surprise appearance at the Plains Peanut Festival in their Georgia home town, the Carter Centre wrote in a social media post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The former president and his wife are seen in a video riding through the festivities in a Black SUV.
“Beautiful day for President & Mrs Carter to enjoy a ride through the Plains Peanut Festival! And just a week before he turns 99,” the Carter Centre wrote on X after sharing the video taken by a spectator.
