Historic moment as King Charles and Pope Leo pray at the Vatican

King Charles has become the first British monarch to pray publicly with the Pope since the creation of the Church of England 500 years ago.

The monarch was accompanied by Queen Camilla, with the royal couple later taking part in a walkabout in Rome.

The service at the Sistine Chapel was ecumenical, meaning it was a joint Anglican and Catholic service. 

It was the first time an English monarch and a pontiff met for such an occasion since the Church of England split from Rome.
