STORYLINE:
Japan's Emperor Naruhito attended a banquet on Wednesday in London on the second day of a three day state visit to Britain.
He was welcomed by the Guard of Honour and had dinner in the Great Hall of Guildhall in London.
King Charles III welcomed the Japanese emperor and empress for a state visit that began on Tuesday, offering the best in pomp and circumstance as the U.K. seeks to bolster its role as the most influential European nation in the Indo-Pacific region.
Charles and Naruhito have known each other for years. Both countries are looking to each other as a source of stability and mutual reassurance at a time of potentially destabilising global political change.
The banquet on Wednesday was hosted by the Lord Mayor and City of London Corporation.
The Lord Mayor of London, Michael Mainelli, Elisabeth Mainelli, and Prince Edward, the Duke of Edinburgh were among those who greeted the Emperor on arrival.
