The King and Queen's historic tour to Australia is underway, with Their Majesties having arrived in a rainy Sydney on Friday.
Despite a protest in Canberra's Parliament House on Monday, Charles, 75, and Camilla, 77, have so far been greeted warmly by huge crowds.
The six-day trip to Canberra and Sydney is the King's first to Australia as its head of state, and comes as he continues to receive treatment for cancer.
During the visit Charles will meet colleagues Professor Georgina Long and Professor Richard Scolyer, named as Australians of the year 2024 in recognition of their pivotal work on melanoma, one of Australia's most common cancers.
Other highlights of the Australian visit will see the royal couple spending time in the capital Canberra meeting leading figures and paying their respects to the country’s fallen, while in western Sydney they will attend a community barbecue – a staple of Australian culture.
The King and Queen will later travel to Samoa for a three-day state visit and meet world leaders taking part in a Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting which Charles will formally open.
Take a look at the best photos from their official trip…
