Well known Big Issue seller Vasile Calin has swapped his usual spot outside M&S in York to cheer on the King today.
Vasile, whose energetic dance routines always catch the eye, has brought a copy of the magazine in case the King wants a copy.
He is ready to wave his Union Flag when the King and Queen Camilla arrive.
Not everyone is happy to see the monarch today.
Protesters have gathered outside York Minster with banners saying ‘Not My King’.
Dressed in yellow, they are also chanting the same words through a megaphone.
Good morning everyone. Welcome to our live blog of today’s royal visit.
The King and Queen Camilla are due at York Minster for the Maundy Service.
In this ancient Easter ceremony, the monarch will distribute the Maundy Money to 74 men and 74 women (signifying the age of the monarch).
It is the third time the Minster has hosted the service. Queen Elizabeth II handed out the money in 1972 and 2012.
The York outer ring road has been partially blocked by a crash today (Wednesday, 5 April).
There is queuing traffic both ways on the A1237 between the BP petrol station and Great North Way in the Rawcliffe area.
The AA is saying that it’s taking 15 minutes to get through.
It was first reported around 11am.
Police and fire crews are on the scene of a lorry fire close to the A1M this morning (Wednesday, 5 April).
It is on the A66 as it joins the Scotch Corner roundabout.
North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service said: “We are at the roundabout at Scotch Corner following a vehicle fire.
“Please avoid the area if possible as the road is closed while the vehicle is made safe and recovery is made.
“We are working with our colleagues at North Yorkshire Police to reopen the area as soon as possible.”
The lorry fire is on the A66 westbound as it joins the roundabout at J53 Scotch Corner of the A1M.
The A66 is closed for westbound traffic trying to join from the A1M. The roundabout is partially closed so traffic is forced on to the A6108.
The crash that was causing significant traffic delays this morning (Friday, 31 March) has now been cleared.
The collision had blocked two northbound lanes of the A1M between Junction 48 for Boroughbridge and Junction 49 for Thirsk.
National Highways now says the collision has been cleared. Traffic is slow but should return to normal soon.
