King Charles sparked a fan reaction on Monday when he visited Pickering in North Yorkshire.
In photos shared to the royal family's official Instagram page, His Majesty could be seen exploring the North Yorkshire market town with a huge grin on his face.
During his whirlwind visit, Charles, 74, took the opportunity to climb on board the footplate of Flying Scotsman as the Royal Train was pulled into a station by the famous steam locomotive.
He also learnt about the town's history before sampling local produce from independent shops. Later in the afternoon, he visited St Peter and St Paul’s Church, which is famous for its medieval wall paintings.

"In this North Yorkshire Market Town, His Majesty had the chance to celebrate 50 years of @northyorkshiremoorsrailway, sample some local produce, and learnt more about the town's history.
"There was a special start to the visit, as His Majesty’s train arrived in the station being pulled by the Flying Scotsman".

He wore a white carnation in his lapel and added a touch of colour to his outfit with a playful maroon elephant tie.

A third remarked: "His Majesty looking extremely dapper!" and a fourth added: "He looks happy & healthy. Also, great tie!"
The King's latest visit comes after he enjoyed a blissful break in Romania. Earlier in June, the monarch arrived in Bucharest, where he received a Guard of Honour at Cotroceni Palace, before undertaking a bilateral meeting with President Klaus Iohannis.

Typically, he spends a couple of days a year here and the guest house is rented out to the public when he is not there. It's known as the Blue House, and features seven double bedrooms with en-suites, a drawing and dining room, a sitting room and a kitchen.

The guest house, meanwhile, has its own outdoor breakfast barn, complete with an enormous bread oven.
