Must read

King Charles and Queen Camilla braved the rain as they watched a parade during in their first visit to Jersey since the King’s coronation.

Despite the weather, the royal couple looked in good spirits and giggled as they watched a seagull seeming to lead marching military personnel in the parade.

Cheering crowds and a 21-gun salute had greeted the King and Queen earlier before they did a number of walkabouts to meet the islanders and a special sitting of the States and Royal Court.
