For Buckingham Palace, this was the ideal ending to the royal tour of Australia.

The optics were positive. Despite a headline-grabbing protest in Canberra on Monday, the public mood on the ground in Sydney was supportive.

But getting to this point - with a successful completion of this trip ahead of a poignant goodbye - will have come as a huge relief to royal aides.

Back in February, this tour looked unlikely to happen with the King diagnosed with cancer and having treatment.
