'Cheer and excitement are what we need'
Christine Priestley was eagerly awaiting the King’s arrival. She said: “I think it’s wonderful because I didn’t think I’d get to see another King, another Monarch. I’m really glad that I’m here today to see King Charles. I’ve seen the Queen a few times, but it’s the first time I will have seen King Charles - live! I think it’s really hard because he’s just lost his mum.
"But I hope and pray that he’ll have a lovely long reign. I think he’ll be good - he cares about the climate and [issues] like that.” On King Charles’ reign, David added: “It’s very early days but there’s been nothing controversial. I was a bit disappointed that he wasn’t allowed to go to Cop2 - I think he would have wanted to. He’s got a really tough act to follow after the queen, but I think he will be a good King. I’ve got every confidence in him.”that have been on display in the city since the end of September as part of a national project to explore the history and impact of the transatlantic slave trade.
Helen Womersley just arrived from work in time to spot the King. She said: “It’s really exciting. I've never met a member of the royal family before. It’s a tough time but these bits of cheer and excitement are what we need.“I’ve heard good things about him and I watched him on the Repair Shop. He seemed really down to earth and genuinely interested in young people.”
