King Charles and Elton John in the audience for Apple music workshop
King Charles has visited a hi-tech music workshop for young people, in a collaboration between his King's Trust charity and technology firm Apple.
Pop royalty, in the form of Sir Elton John, was a special guest at the event, sitting beside the King, as they listened to a short performance from singer-songwriter Skye Newman.
The event was held at a music hall in Apple's headquarters building, in the restored Battersea Power Station in south west London.
The project being backed by the King is intended to equip young people with practical skills to work in the creative industries.

"Wow, you did your homework," Prophet said, when the King seemed familiar with his efforts.
The King was introduced to young performers at the event.
Another young musician said the problem was getting the money together to launch creative ideas.
