Speaking at Crawford Art Gallery, Charles told the guests: “You have been more kind and welcoming to us than we could ever believe possible.

“Our countries have travelled a troubled road together but reconciliation and understanding as our guide we have found a very important new path to share prosperity and security and together we are determined we must never lose our way again.”
