CROWDS lined the streets to welcome King Charles III and Camilla, Queen Consort, to Malton yesterday
Their arrival came as a surprise to many in the town – with the news only made official upon the royal couple’s arrival.
Despite this, rumours had been circulating earlier in the week – so locals were quick to decorate shop fronts and paint fences, ensuring the town was looking at its best for the visit.
Melanie Wright from Fox's Butchers said: "It was such a great atmosphere - some were cheering, others saying hip hip hoory. It was just brilliant seeing him walking past and meeting people just brilliant."
