The King and Queen have led commemorations for the 80th anniversary of VE Day.
King Charles and Queen Camilla were joined by the Royal Family for a spectacular military parade in London as days of events got under way to mark 80 years since World War Two came to an end in Europe.
Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis joined their parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales, as they took their seats in a special dais at the Victoria Memorial outside Buckingham Palace where the royals joined WW2 veterans to watch the procession.
In a symbol of reconciliation, German NATO soldiers marched alongside their British counterparts in the parade.
King Charles and Queen Camilla led the Royal Family in greeting the veterans as they took their places on the stage.
Those who had served in World War Two were given front row seats, with the Royal Family sitting in between them and chatting with them throughout the procession.
The Princess Royal and her husband, Sir Timothy Laurence, were there along with the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.
The Duke of Kent also joined the royal party with George, Charlotte and Louis taking particular care to greet the 88 year old.
After the procession, the Royal Family appeared on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to watch a flypast led by the Red Arrows.
The veterans were invited to take their relations into the gardens of the Palace to see the flypast.
After that, the Royal Family hosted a tea party for them inside the Palace with Prince George making a surprise appearance.
The 11 year old, who is second in line to the throne, chatted happily with the veterans and was heard asking lots of questions.
VE Day was declared on May 8 1945 as hostilities in Europe came to an end. King Charles III’s grandfather, King George VI, spoke to the nation on VE Day and appeared on the balcony of Buckingham Palace alongside Queen Elizabeth (later the Queen Mother) and their two daughters, Elizabeth and Margaret, as well as Sir Winston Churchill.
