King Charles and Queen Camilla visit Bradford

The King and Queen have arrived in Bradford to celebrate the people and heritage of the current UK City of Culture.

Crowds waving flags greeted Charles and Camilla when they arrived at the city's £50m Bradford Live venue earlier.

Mayor of West Yorkshire Tracey Brabin welcomed the royal couple to the city, before they stopped to speak to members of the public.

The King and Queen were then treated to a performance by school pupils inside the 3,800 capacity venue.

The Queen, as patron of the National Literacy Trust (NLT), then joined an event celebrating the trust's work in Bradford, where she met volunteers and listened to poetry performed by local school children.

Meanwhile, the King visited Impact Hub Yorkshire, in Little Germany, a centre that provides support for growing local enterprises and entrepreneurs.

The Queen then visited a cottage in Thornton where the Brontë sisters were born and which has recently been bought to turn it into a cultural and education centre.

Finally, the King visited Cartwright Hall, an art gallery and community cultural space in Lister Park to tour an exhibition of work by Bradford-born artist David Hockney.

Charles was treated to a performance by the BBC Radio Leeds Bantam of the Opera choir before he spent time talking with some of the members about their experience with the choir and their memories of the 1985 Bradford City fire, which claimed the lives of 56 football fans.
