The King visits Golders Green

The King has visited north London to show solidarity with the area's Jewish community after several antisemitic incidents.

Hundreds of people came out on the streets to greet him.

Charles also met with the two Jewish men who were stabbed in Golders Green last month.

Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis told the King they “appreciate it enormously” that he had made the visit.

Charles also spoke with members of the Jewish community police force Shomrim, who were involved in responding to the attacks on April 29.

After speaking to the King, Mr Shine, who was stabbed in the neck outside a bus stop during the attack, spoke about the “genuine warmth” he had felt from the King.

He said: “He was very concerned.

“The most inspiring thing was that he didn’t let go of my hand, I mean it was amazing, he is the King but I felt a genuine warmth and concern.”

He said that the visit felt “extremely important” for the whole Jewish community.

“We feel we have a genuine friend in the King,” he added.

After meeting with the victims, the King greeted the crowds gathered outside the charity centre on Golders Green Road.

He waved to the crowds gathered outside and was greeted with chants of “long live the King”.

Charles shook hands with a man who turned 100 on Thursday.

“I hope they give you a good celebration, and I hope you get a card from me,” the King said.

He was then presented with a loaf of traditional Challah bread outside Grodz bakery on the high street, and spoke to children from a local primary school.
