In Pictures: King meets refugees, politicians and traders in Berlin

PA Wire

The King and Queen Consort packed a lot into the early part of their day as they continued their first overseas tour since Charles inherited the throne.

An early morning visit to a market let keen horticulturalist Charles see local produce before he  hailed UK-German relations in a speech to the country’s parliament, the Bundestag.

No meeting with Germany would be complete without football and the King sampled some table football during his visit to a refugee centre.

The Queen Consort, meanwhile, had a treat in store when she went to the German capital’s Komische Opera Berlin.

She met performers and listened to a recital.

The King’s address to the Bundestag saw him praise the special bond between the countries.

A chat at the Chancellery gave the King another chance to exchange views as he met German leader Olaf Scholz.
