King Charles took a walk down memory lane as Holyrood Week kicked off, with a trip to the Royal Yacht Britannia..

The monarch visited the yacht at Ocean Terminal in Leith, where she is a tourist attraction. His visit marked the 25th anniversary of the yacht's arrival in Edinburgh with former staff and crew on board to greet him, reports the Scottish Daily Express.

He was six in 1954 when he and Princess Anne sailed on Britannia's first voyage to Malta, where they met their parents. They spent several summer holidays onboard Britannia before she was retired to Leith.
