He visited Leeds Central Library before making his way over to Leeds Building Society, having spent time in Bradford earlier on in the day. His Leeds schedule included a meeting with young achievers to mark the 10th anniversary of Child Friendly Leeds and an official opening of the new Leeds Building Society headquarters.
The King also viewed a number of The World Reimagined globes that have been displayed as part of a national project to explore the history and impact of the transatlantic slave trade.
