King Charles III greeted by thousands of well-wishers at Buckingham Palace: Monarch meets crowds, sees floral tributes to Queen

By Jack Mendel

King Charles III has arrived at Buckingham Palace before he is crowned the new monarch, greeted by tens-of-thousands of people and floral tributes.

The new sovereign shook hands with adoring members of the public with shouts of “God save the King” being heard.

Kind Charles came to London from Balmoral, where his mother, Her Majesty The Queen died on Thursday evening aged 96.

The Queen’s death after 70-years on the throne led to an outpouring of tributes from around the country and across the world.

At 6pm on Friday King Charles III will address the nation, before a formal ceremony on Saturday at St James’s Palace in London, in the presence of a ceremonial body known as the Accession Council.

His coronation could however be months away.
