Last updated 28th Feb 2019
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been greeted by hundreds of cheering well-wishers in Ballymena on the second day of their Northern Ireland visit.
Several hundred people lined the streets of the Co Antrim town as William and Kate went on a walkabout.
The crowds, many waving flags, braved the cold outside the Braid Centre.
The couple were there to learn more about the work of Cinemagic - a charity that uses film, TV and digital technologies to inspire and educate young people.
It was the first public engagement on the second and final day of their visit to Northern Ireland.
They started Thursday with a private meeting with officers and staff from the Police Service of Northern Ireland at Hillsborough Castle.
The visit to Ballymena comes after a range of high-energy engagements on Wednesday.
William and Kate played football at Belfast's Windsor Park and took part in a canoe race in Co Fermanagh, before rounding the day off by pulling pints at a reception for young leaders at Belfast's famous Empire music hall.
The couple made their way into Braid Centre, where they were welcomed by CEO of Cinemagic Joan Keatings MBE, international executive of Cinemagic Shauna Shivers McAtammey and Michael Lennox, who is director of Derry Girls, Cinemagic alumni and a Bafta win.

Cinemagic is an educational charity for young filmmakers.
Over the last 30 years it has delivered highly-successful young film programmers and young film critics panels.
Wearing a Mulberry coat, Kate chatted to officials from Mid and East Antrim Council while William spoke to DUP MP Ian Paisley, who presented him with a wooden walking stick.
