King Charles said the partnership between the UK and France needed to grow "ever closer" in the face of "profound challenges", as he hosted Emmanuel Macron at a state banquet at Windsor Castle.

The King and French president dined with the Royal Family and some 160 guests, including Sir Mick Jagger and Sir Elton John - with English sparkling wine on the menu.

Macron and his wife Brigitte earlier had been given a ceremonial carriage procession through Windsor, accompanied by the King and Queen and the Prince and Princess of Wales, at the start of their state visit.
