Thousands track plane carrying King and Queen Consort as they fly over Lancashire and Cumbria
The plane carrying King Charles III and the Queen Consort was tracked by more than 150,000 people online as it travelled over Lancashire and Cumbria towards London.
A group of more than 100 people assembled to watch him land in England for the first time as king. There were cheers from the crowds as the King’s state Bentley arrived at the gates of the Palace. Cheers rang out at Buckingham Palace as the King and Queen arrived, along with shouts of “God save the King”. Many people held their phones aloft to try to catch a glimpse of them as they greeted members of the crowd and look at the tributes left for the Queen as the sun shone.
It will be followed by a flurry of Proclamations around the country, with the second one at City of London at the Royal Exchange at midday on Saturday, and further Proclamations in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales at midday on Sunday. Buckingham Palace issued details of the arrangements, considered the first official orders of business of a new reign, on Friday.
