King Charles in Doncaster - His Majesty greets members of the public

King Charles met with huge crowds and cheers as he visited Doncaster to bestow city status today.

The King and Queen Consort were greeted with colourful scenes of jubilation as they arrived at the Mansion House this lunchtime for the ceremony following Doncaster being granted city status by his later mother Queen Elizabeth II as part of her Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

And the Royal couple surprised those waiting to see them with an impromptu walkabout where they were met by hundreds of flag-waving and excited youngsters who greeted the couple with cheers and huge smiles.

Here is a round up of pictures from that walkabout.
