How Cardiff looks today as the city prepares for the arrival of King Charles III

King Charles III is due to make his first official visit to Wales when he visits Cardiff with the Queen Consort on Friday, September 16. The couple's first port of call will be Llandaff Cathedral for a remembrance service for the Queen, before they head to the Senedd for a Motion of Condolence, and then, finally, Cardiff Castle.

Preparations for the royal visit have been going on for days, with Llandaff Cathedral announcing its closure to prepare for the service the day after the Queen's death was announced. Workers have since been out in force in the area, ensuring everything is spotless for the visit.

From weeding and cutting back hedges to covering potholes, areas of Cardiff are getting a makeover before the new King arrives in the city. With the media set to cover the event throughout the day, crews have been busy setting up light and sound equipment outside the cathedral for the service, which will also be televised.
