King Charles has formally conferred city status on Doncaster as part of a two-day visit to Yorkshire.

Together with the Queen Consort, he spoke with locals and attended a reception at the Doncaster Mansion House during a brief visit to to the former town.

Doncaster was granted city status as part of Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in early 2022.

Hundreds of people lined the streets outside Mansion House ahead of the royal couple's visit, with many arriving several hours beforehand to guarantee a good vantage point.

As the monarch stepped out of his car he was greeted with cheers and shouts of "Welcome to Doncaster".

This was a really notable day in the city's history.
