Britain's King Charles III and his wife, Camilla, have met German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife Elke Büdenbender at the Brandenburg Gate in the heart of the German capital.
The German pair will accompany Charles and Camilla during their three-day trip.
Charles and Camilla are being greeted as state guests with military honours - the first time such a ceremony was taking place at the historic location.
Many hundreds of well-wishers had gathered at the area around the Brandenburg Gate to welcome and see the royals, who are on their first foreign state visit since taking on their new roles.
