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.
Eurovision director Martin Green started a count down from ten before the Royals pressed a buzzer which illuminated the stage in dazzling orange lights. There was a special nod to the King's Coronation, which is only ten days away, as a Coronation logo flashed up on the screen above the stage.
