King Charles and Queen Camilla meet crowds during visit to St Ives

The King and Queen were welcomed by crowds of people

King Charles III and Queen Camilla have been welcomed by crowds in St Ives during a visit to the Cornish town.

The King and Queen toured the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, meeting with local artists.

They then heard choristers from Truro Cathedral as they arrived at St Ives Harbour - some of whom sang at the Coronation.

At the harbour they met members of the Cornish community including members of the RNLI team.
