UK Prime Minister Liz Truss this evening landed at RAF Northolt on board an RAF Falcon aircraft (G-ZABH) after attending a service of prayer and reflection with King Charles III at St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh.

Footage also shows the Falcon's sister aircraft (G-ZAHS) taking off from RAF Northolt heading for Edinburgh, shortly before the Prime Minister's arrival.

It comes as No 10 poured cold water on reports of a proposed tour of the UK nations by Liz Truss with King Charles, claiming she had never intended to accompany the monarch on walkabouts.

They moved to underline that Truss would only be attending services of reflection in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.

“The king is leading national mourning across the UK and the prime minister will join and attend the services,” a No 10 source said. “The PM is not ‘accompanying’ the king and it is not a ‘tour’. She is merely attending the services.”
