King Charles has arrived back in the north-east and headed to Deeside, just a day after the funeral of his mother Queen Elizabeth.

The King, accompanied by the Queen Consort Camilla, left RAF Northolt in London at 10.30am.

They arrived at Aberdeen Airport just after noon, and have made their way to Balmoral.

The couple drove through Ballater, the village closest to Balmoral, shortly after 1.30pm.

It is understood the king will spend a few days at Balmoral to grieve.

Yesterday, King Charles and members of the royal family held a state funeral in London – before a private interment yesterday evening.

About a million people were in London for the event, with an estimated four billion watching around the world.

Local events were also held to bring people together, including in Leslie where families gathered to ‘raise a cup of tea to the Queen’.

And communities across Tayside and Fife were “bursting with pride” after locals took on key roles at the funeral and in the days leading up to the service.

Earlier today, the Royal Family issued a photograph of the Queen at Balmoral.
