Crowds have greeted King Charles III and Queen Camilla on their first visit to Wales together since the Coronation.

They will stop by an agricultural show, listen to jazz and meet members of the community in Brecon, Powys.

The trip began at Brecon Cathedral where the royal couple met members of the congregation and watched a performance from the Brecon Choir Festival.

Thursday's visit also saw them visit Brecknock Agricultural Society’s annual show, of which the King is a patron, in the canal basin area of the town.
