As it draws to a close the royal visit to Germany is being hailed as a huge success.

At such a politically important time as David Cameron tries to negotiate with EU leaders the Queen's visit has seen thousands line the streets in the hopes of seeing a little royal glamour.

ITV News Royal Editor Tim Ewart reports:

The Queen and Prince Philip met with distant relatives at lunch today, with one declaring his country did not want Britain to leave the European Union.

Prince Donatus of Hesse, a distant family member of both Philip and the Queen, said his nation had taken Die Queen, as she is known by ordinary people, to heart after thousands lined the streets of Frankfurt to welcome the royal couple.
