Hundreds line streets as King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla arrive in city ahead of Eurovision

Hundreds of people lined the streets as King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla arrived in Liverpool.

Their Majesties were in the city today ahead of this year's Eurovision Song Contest and the King's Coronation. King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla started their visit with a tour of the M&S Bank Arena where they were given the important job of unveiling this year's Eurovision stage.
