The King and Queen, along with the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children, have attended a Sunday service at a church near the Balmoral estate.
Troops from Balaklava Company, 5th Battalion Royal Regiment of Scotland, provided a guard of honour as the family members arrived at the tiny granite Crathie Kirk in Aberdeenshire.
Arrival at the church
The soldiers lined up on both sides of the leafy driveway leading up to the church, and the fleet of cars passed between them as they took their royal occupants up to the door.
Charles and Camilla were travelling in the first car, while William was driving the second car – which also carried Kate and the couple’s three children.
Royal family gathering
The Princess Royal and her husband Sir Tim Laurence were in another of the cars, and The Duke of Edinburgh and his daughter Lady Louise were in another vehicle.
A crowd of onlookers had gathered outside the front of the church to witness their arrival.
Summer holiday tradition
The visit comes days after news of the Duke of Sussex’s imminent return to the UK emerged.
The royal family arrived for their traditional summer holiday on the Balmoral estate earlier in the week.
The small Church of Scotland parish kirk is their regular place of worship when they are at Balmoral, and Queen Elizabeth II regularly attended services there.
