The King has started his visit to Poland to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz with a speech to mark the 'sombre and sacred moment'.

Speaking at the Jewish Community Centre in Krakow, Poland, the King said it is 'vital to remember the evils of the past' in order to 'inform our present and shape our future'.

Following his speech, the King unveiled a plaque and met survivors and campaigners gathered at the centre.

Later, the King will visit Auschwitz for the first time as part of commemorations marking Holocaust Memorial Day.
