The Duke and Duchess of Sussex kicked off their highly anticipated four-day tour of Colombia with a warm welcome from the nation's vice president, Francia Márquez. 

The couple arrived in the capital city on Thursday, and were greeted by Ms Márquez and her husband, Rafael Yerney Pinillo.

The visit to the South American country, which has many similarities to the programme of an official royal overseas visit, is Prince Harry and Meghan's second this year after their three-day visit to Nigeria at the invitation of the West African nation's chief of defence staff.

Take a look at HELLO!'s favourite pictures from the tour...
