The King has arrived at Bonefish Pond - a protected wetland in the Bahamas. It’s mangrove trees shelter young fish and help protect the coast from storms. A quick tree planting and he’s off to the next engagement 👑
The King has started his tour of the Caribbean with a speech describing slavery as ‘the great suffering of the past’, but he stopped short of offering an apology.
Several Commonwealth nations are demanding compensation, known as reparations, for Britain's historic role in the human trade.

A disgraceful mess in north Manchester this morning after a weekend of fly-tipping. Council crews are clearing this street and sifting through the rubbish for evidence of who dumped it. We’re here for @GMB throughout the morning

219.9p a litre for diesel at M23 services in Sussex this morning. That’s almost £121 to fill a 55-litre tank. A painful start to the day for anyone who depends on their car @GMB 🚗 🚛
Police have found a body in the search for a missing three-year-old boy, whose disappearance sparked a huge community search effort.
Noah Woods went missing at around 3pm on Tuesday in Brantham, Suffolk, when he became separated from a relative after visiting a park in Merriam Close.
More than 1,000 people have joined the search effort in the 24 hours since, being organised into small patrols to comb the village, construction site and lake close to where he was last seen.
Flowers, toys and teddy bears left for Noah at the playground where he was last seen on Tuesday…Small gestures of kindness for a little boy and a family facing unimaginable grief 🙁
Flowers are being left beside the playground in Brantham after the discovery of a body in the search for three-year-old Noah. A community that came together to help find him is now leaving quiet messages of love and support.
The search continues this morning for 3 year old Noah Woods. He was last seen coming out of this playground in Brantham yesterday afternoon. Lots of locals are out again today to help the police try to find him… @GMB
Searches are continuing in Suffolk for a three-year-old boy who went missing from a playground yesterday.
Local volunteers and the coastguard joined police and firefighters through the night to look for Noah Woods.
Police say the toddler is partially deaf and non verbal, so may not respond to calls of his name.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have moved their children to a new school after talks with their security team, it is understood.
Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet had only been at their previous school in England for a few days, after the family moved from the US a little over two weeks ago.
They will now join another, after heavy traffic and a long journey to school reportedly put the Sussexes’ security team under strain.
