His Majesty The King stopped by Ealing Broadway yesterday (7 December) to meet six local volunteer-run community groups who are recipients of The King's Award for Voluntary Service. 

Here are some of the best pictures we have gathered from the day!

The King arrived at 3:15pm and was greeted by The Mayor of Ealing, Councillor Hitesh Tailor, MP for Ealing Central and Acton, Dr Rupa Huq, West Area BCU Commander Chief Superintendent Sean Wilson and Ealing Broadway Centre Director, Andrew Rollings.
