Burnley has secured the royal seal of approval as the King called the area ‘beautiful’ during a meeting with the town’s MP.

The Burnley, Padiham, and Brierfield MP met King Charles III and Queen Camilla at a reception for newly elected Members of Parliament at Buckingham Palace yesterday.

The King told MP Oliver Ryan that the area was “a beautiful place” and said he remembered doing “a lot of work in Burnley on regeneration around the canals and Weavers’ Triangle”.

The Queen added that she enjoyed Lancashire greatly and wanted to visit Burnley again in the future.

MP Ryan said: “It was a complete privilege to meet Their Majesties The King and Queen at Buckingham Palace on behalf of my constituents.

"I’d never been to Buckingham Palace before, and it felt a very long way from home in Burnley. It was a truly surreal experience and a great honour.”
