Ceremonial opening of the Senedd

Coverage of the ceremonial opening of the Senedd in Cardiff, where King Charles III and Queen Camilla were welcomed by Presiding Officer Huw Irranca Davies and by the First Minister of Wales and leader of Plaid Cymru, Rhun ap Iorwerth, for the opening of the Seventh Senedd. The photographs show the King and Queen arriving and taking their places, the King delivering a speech, the Queen meeting members of the judiciary, and the couple meeting Gareth Jones, who survived the Aberfan disaster, and shaking hands with Len Moss as they left. Further frames cover a private audience at the Wales Millennium Centre afterwards, alongside earlier material from the opening of the Sixth Senedd. Available to license on Fast Media.
