The King was cheered by crowds as he arrived in Doncaster, where he spent six minutes meeting well-wishers in an unplanned walkabout.

He and Camilla met officials in Mansion House, where the King officially conferred city status on Doncaster in a ceremony.

Charles and Camilla then attended a reception with a menu which included free range egg and watercress sandwiches.

His Majesty also met Doncaster war veteran Ben Parkinson. He is considered to be the most severely injured British soldier from the war in Afghanistan.
