A young girl shied away from shaking King Charles's hand as the monarch greeted well-wishers after the Royal Maundy Service at St Asaph Cathedral in Denbighshire, north Wales, on Thursday (2 April).

His Majesty, accompanied by the Queen, distributed Royal Maundy gifts at the annual service, as it was held in Wales for only the second time.

The ceremony recognises people who have shown outstanding Christian service and made a difference to the lives of people in their communities.

Supporters with Union flags and Welsh flags lined the street outside the cathedral to greet the royals.
