The King and Queen wrapped up their historic four-day state visit to the US on Thursday. Bidding farewell to Donald Trump and Melania Trump at the White House, the royals then travelled to Arlington National Cemetery to pay their respects at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Charles lay a wreath composed of red poppies. They then journeyed to the aptly-named Front Royal, where they participated in a block party with Virginia's governor, before going their separate ways: the Queen visited Smitten Farm in Virginia to highlight the US horse racing industry's health and welfare efforts, while the King closed his visit out at Shenandoah National Park. King Charles then flew to Bermuda from Joint Base Andrews, where the royals had initially touched down on 27 April.
