Pourquoi c'est important
Glasgow is hosting the Commonwealth Games for the second time in eight years after the Australian state of Victoria withdrew due to rising costs. The Games feature 215 medals across 10 sports, including a record 47 para-sports events.
The Prince and Princess of Wales have brought their three children to watch some of the final sporting events at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
Cheering crowds at the city's OVO Hydro were treated to exhilarating performances in the netball semi-finals where the family watched New Zealand's 61-54 win over England.
Known as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay while in Scotland, the couple also spent time meeting athletes, staff and volunteers during a slightly blustery visit to the venue on the River Clyde.
They then made their way to the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome - where they chatted to British cyclist Dame Laura Kenny and sat one row behind another Olympic cycling champion, Sir Chris.
Saturday's netball results mean Jamaica and New Zealand will battle it out for the gold on Sunday during some of the final medal awards of the tournament.
England will also try to deny Australia a consolation bronze, before teams transform the Hydro from a netball court back to a gig venue for the closing ceremony on Sunday night.
The venue will be turned around in just six hours.
It has been a scaled-down version of the Games, with 215 medals awarded across 10 sports, however it has hosted a record 47 para-sports events.
Glasgow stepped in to host the tournament - for the second time in eight years - when Australian state Victoria pulled out due to soaring costs.
King Charles and Queen Camilla emerged from a Tardis during the spectacular opening ceremony last Thursday.
Flags from 74 nations and territories were carried into the arena during the event, which also featured the Loch Ness monster and performances from Nathan Evans, Tom Walker and KT Tunstall.
