Thousands of people lined up to greet King Charles and offer condolences as he arrived at Buckingham Palace for the first time since the Queen's death.
The new King was joined by Queen Consort Camilla on a public walkabout on Friday afternoon and he shook hands with well-wishers of all ages who had gathered to both pay their respects for the loss of Her Majesty and welcome the new monarch.
One woman leaned over to kiss the King's right hand and another kissed him on the cheek. Shouts of God Save the King went up, along with three cheers for the new head of state, dressed in mourning black suit and tie, who smiled and waved at the mass of people.
