People across Norway paid tribute to the nation's late King Harald who died in the early hours of Friday morning at the age of 89 after 35 years on the throne.

Mourners gathered outside of the Royal Palace to lay flowers and remember him while his son, King Haakon VIII, officially succeeded him and met with his government.

Harald had been treated at the national hospital in Oslo for a rare blood condition.

On Friday evening, hospital staff and crowds gathered on the streets as the late king's coffin was moved from the hospital to the Royal Palace.

Tributes have been shared within the country and internationally - including by UK King Charles III who sent his "most heartfelt condolences".
