Wet weather in Auckland wasn't enough to deter crowds of Royal fans from turning out to meet the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall. Charles and Camilla are in the country for a one-week tour, and kicked things off in the Auckland suburb of Mount Roskill.
They visited a local war memorial and met community groups - much to the delight of onlookers and those who deemed themselves lucky enough to meet the Royal pair.
