The Royal couple were greeted at Doncaster Racecourse by a number of well-wishers who gathered on the edge of the course to see His and Her Majesty head back to London after their two day tour of Yorkshire.

The city status engagement at the Mansion House was the last event on a packed schedule, which also saw trips to Leeds, Bradford and York.

And by the time they arrived back at Town Moor, a rainbow had formed in the skies, creating a momentous end to the first visit to Doncaster by a reigning monarch since the Queen visited in 1994.
