King Charles visited Pickering today to mark the 100th anniversary of the Flying Scotsman and the 50th anniversary of The North Yorkshire Moors Railway.

The Royal Train was pulled into Pickering Heritage Railway Station by the famous locomotive.

The King was greeted by hundreds of well-wishers as he left the station and worked his way through the town’s centre on an extended walkabout.
