The procession of Felipe VI

After his proclamation, King Felipe VI took an open car ride through the centre of Madrid to greet his fellow citizens and receive their applause.  The route took him past some of the most famous landmarks of the Spanish capital and while the crowds were large towards the Royal Palace, elsewhere they were described as 'manageable'.  But the excitement of those who came to see the new King of Spain and his consort was clear to see.  Here are the best photos of Felipe VI's first procession as king.
