Prince William and Kate have arrived on P.E.I.
Hundreds of people gathered to catch a glimpse of the royal couple as they landed at the Charlottetown Airport Sunday evening.
People filled the airport parking lot, peeked through airport fencing and parked cars along the airport road in anticipation of their arrival.
After emerging from the aircraft and shaking hands with a few dignitaries, the royal couple entered a black car in a motorcade and left the airport, as fans cheered and screamed.
Last-minute preparations
Before they arrived, hundreds of gates had been installed in Charlottetown city streets in anticipation of the crowds wanting to welcome the royal newlyweds to Canada's smallest province.
Media from across the world are covering the royal couple as they continue their nine-day visit to Canada, bringing dozens of broadcasting trucks into the city .
Last-minute cleanup preparations were also continuing Sunday. Workers at Province House were watering flower beds, while city workers worked overtime cleaning up after Charlottetown's Summerfest.
William and Kate will remain on the Island until Monday, visiting both Charlottetown and Summerside during their stay.
The couple was planning to attend an informal media reception at Peake's Quay Restaurant Sunday evening.
