King Charles III will make his first visit to Northern Ireland as monarch on Tuesday, as part of a tour of the UK.

He will meet Stormont’s party leaders and receive a message of condolence from the speaker of the assembly.

Camilla, the Queen Consort, will accompany him, and PM Liz Truss will join the royal couple at a church service in Belfast.

Charles became King following  the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth11, on Thursday.

Thousands of people have queued through the night to file past her coffin as it stands on public view for 24 hours at St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh. Later it will be flown to London, where the Queen will lie in state ahead of her funeral on Monday.

When King Charles and Camilla arrive at Belfast City Airport on Tuesday, they will be greeted by Northern Ireland Secretary Chris Heaton-Harris, the chief executive of the airport, the lord lieutenant of Belfast and some school children.
