A new statue of Queen Elizabeth II has been unveiled by King Charles at York Minster.

It is the first to be installed since her death.

Her son and the Queen Consort, Camilla, has been meeting people in the City today.

The statue has been blessed by the Archbishop as well.

The visit has not been without drama though, as a man was detained earlier appearing to throw eggs at the Royals.

The King and Queen Consort are due to be in Doncaster later.
