The proclamation of King Charles III has taken place in Jersey.

At 12:00 BST a special sitting of the States Assembly received the proclamation by Bailiff Sir Timothy Le Cocq.

A public proclamation ceremony took place in the Royal Square at 12:30, before it was registered in the Royal Court.

His Majesty was proclaimed King in a ceremony at St James's Palace in London on Saturday.

A 21-gun salute at Glacis Field will take place shortly, before flags will return to half-mast to continue the Queen's mourning period.

Flags were raised to full-mast at 09:00 BST on Saturday in recognition of King Charles III's formal proclamation.
