Sky News reports:
The King stopped to greet crowds gathered outside Buckingham Palace as he arrived in London for the first time as monarch following the death of his mother.
Tearful and overwhelmed with emotion, people applauded and cheered the King during his 12-minute walkabout outside the palace gates, with several shouting “God bless you, Charles” and “God save the King”.
One woman even hugged and kissed the King on the cheek as he stopped in front of her, but the new monarch appeared to take it in his stride. He shook hands with countless members of the public – the first to meet the King – thanking them for their good wishes, before he and his wife Camilla, the Queen Consort, walked into Buckingham Palace together.
