King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla have had a jam-packed day of engagements today after spending the day in and around the city of Manchester.
And in a rare display of affection, His Majesty was seen offering a caring gesture to his wife as they left one venue to a crowd of cheering well-wishers.
The royal couple had been at Bolton Town Hall in Greater Manchester, where they met community representatives and celebrated the building's 150th anniversary.
