The King and Queen visited Armagh today (Thursday) as they continued their trip to Northern Ireland.
The Royal couple thanked the city for the warm welcome they received during the second day of their visit.
Charles attended a service at St Patrick's Cathedral attended by various religious leaders while Camilla visited the Armagh Robinson Library, which is home to a number of local archaeological items.
They both met young school children, including two eight-year-olds sporting hand-made crowns called Charles and Camilla.
The King and Queen also met members of the Methodist College Belfast choir, who sang at the coronation in Westminster Abbey.
They then shook hands with several artisan food producers and were given various gifts by members of the public as a cultural performance took place on a stage at Market Theatre Square.
Charles then addressed the crowd and thanked the community for their hospitality.
He also praised the diversity of culture shown in the preceding performances and said it "provides such an extra richness and contribution to the whole of society here".
The King finished by saying: "So I do hope you have great success in the future. And we look forward to seeing you again."
Charles and Camilla then met with some people gathered along the road, waving Union flags and bearing gifts, before departing for their next engagement.
