Hundreds gather at Liverpool Town Hall as King Charles III is recognised as monarch

Hundreds flooded the streets as Liverpool came together to officially recognise King Charles III.

People descended on the city centre this afternoon as Liverpool's Lord Mayor, Councillor Roy Gladden, delivered the Proclamation Reading from the rear Town Hall balcony. Mourning members of the public were invited to share the moment as the city recognised the new monarch.

The service, which took place around 1pm today (Sunday, September 11), was one of many in cities across the country following the death of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday, September 8. Earlier today, the Queen was moved from her Balmoral estate in Scotland where she died.
