King Charles III: Proclamation read in cities and towns

The High Sheriff of East Yorkshire Jacky Bowes made the proclamation to from the balcony of Hull City Hall

Formal announcements of the new King Charles III have taken place in cities and towns across East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.

The ceremonies follow the proclamation of the new King in London on Saturday.

In Hull, a procession made its way from the city's Guildhall to Queen Victoria Square.

The High Sheriff of East Yorkshire Jacky Bowes made the proclamation from the balcony of the City Hall alongside the county's Lord-Lieutenant.

It was watched by a crowd gathered around a statue of Queen Victoria. Local MPs and councillors were also in attendance alongside mayors from the region's towns.

It concluded with a piper playing a verse of the National Anthem followed by three cheers for the new King.

The leader of Hull City Council Mike Ross said the day was "a moment in history".

"Although today is actually about marking the new King coming to the throne," he said.

"I think also there is still clearly a lot of respect out there for Queen Elizabeth and rightly so."

The Lincoln proclamation took place outside the city's cathedral

In Lincoln, a similar ceremony took place at Lincoln Cathedral where the proclamation of the new sovereign was announced to the county.

Elsewhere in Lincolnshire, proclamations were held in Boston, Manby, Sleaford, Spalding, Grantham, Stamford, Bourne, Market Deeping, Gainsborough, Scunthorpe, Grimsby, Cleethorpes and Lincoln.

The main ceremony in East Yorkshire was at Beverley at the town's Market Cross.

Hedon, Snaith and Cowick, Rawcliffe, Patrington, Leven, Goole and Bridlington also held proclamations.
