King Charles III visited Cardiff on Friday for the first time since becoming the new monarch. The King and Queen Consort attended a service at Llandaff Cathedral, visited the Senedd, and were due to carry out engagements at Cardiff Castle during their visit.
Preparations have been going on all week ahead of the much-anticipated visit and crowds have built across Cardiff. A gun salute marked the moment the King, wearing adarkk suit, arrived in Cardiff via helicopter. You can follow updates by following our live blog here.
