“Over the last twenty-five years, the Senedd has become more than a symbol. It has become essential to the life of Wales. As we look back over the last quarter-century in the long journey of our history, I offer you my heartfelt congratulations – llongyfarchiadau mawr – on all you have achieved, " Charles said.

One of the fans commented, "His Majesty’s speeches are always amazing and for some occassion, they send a very powerful message. God save our King."

For the unversed, as the monarch waited to give his speech, the Llywydd of the Senedd Elin Jones said: " I would like to invite His Majesty the King to address the Senedd.

Jones then made eye contact with the monarch and jokingly said: "Follow that."

The comment amused the King as he burst into laughter and said: "I can't."

The King then composed himself and issued a message to the MSs in the chamber.

He said: "The Queen and I are so delighted to join you today as we mark this significant milestone in our history - the 25th anniversary of Welsh devolution.

"During times which have seen great change, profound sorrow and tremendous achieving - through it out my respect and affection for the people of this ancient land have depended with every passing year."

He continued: "There are many different ways to love and serve one's country - and what a country you have to serve.

"What a unique mosaic of places, landscapes and culture that is entrusted to your care. It's wonderful to see the Senedd uses the Welsh language so often not just as a symbolic use, but as its foundation."

The Llywydd of the Senedd and Welsh First Minister Vaughan Gething also gave speeches to mark the occasion.

The King and Queen received a guard of honour from the Royal Welsh before they were greeted by primary school children from across Wales.
