King Charles III in Cardiff for first Wales visit as monarch

Analysis by Dan Davies, BBC Wales political correspondent

King Charles arrived in Cardiff via helicopter from his Gloucestershire home of Highgrove following a day of rest after a week of duties since the death of the Queen. A fanfare of trumpeters from the Regimental Band of the Royal Welsh greeted the King at the cathedral's west door before Mr Drakeford gave a reading from the Old Testament.

The archbishop said the late Queen's skilful use of "soft power" came to the fore during her visits to Aberfan after the disaster there in 1966 when the community found her presence "deeply consoling".

More pish from luggie

What an exaggeration. I think Wales is the country least regarded by the English monarchy.

BBC doing the usual boot in mouth stuff, impartial my shiny metal butt.

Hang on hang on… where am I today? What? Wales Really? Yes yes… we loooveee Wales.. yes. Where to next?

I love the news dramatic theme sound in honour of Queen’s Elizabeth passing. Very well made.

Da iawn am siarad Cynraeg Charles. Ardderchog!

Hen lol wirion.

No surprises here.

Chemical signal received: ensure worker ants are informed that elite ants believe that Wales has the same value as Scotland in the eyes of the monarch. This has been a common problem in the past and needs to be addressed now. Ant music Meh…

The languages of all the UK countries should be taught to the monarch and his/her children, so that they can be fluent wherever they go in the UK. This should include British Sign Language.

Wales? As in S-C-O-T-L-A-N-D ?
