THE King and Queen waved from the steps of a Royal Australian Air Force jet as they bade farewell to Samoa after a successful four-day state visit.
Charles, 75, and Camilla, 77, visited Siumu Village earlier on Saturday morning for a farewell ceremomy and were greeted with the same wet conditions they arrived in Sydney to eight days earlier.
Their Majesties arrived at Faleolo VIP Terminal in a motorcade and briefly greeted the Deputy Prime Minister of Samoa, the Minister for Enviroment and Police Commissioner while sheltering under umbrellas,
The Queen cautiously made her way up the steps first and turned to wave before heading in the dry.
A few minutes later the King boarded the aircraft, after being joined by the Queen to wave to those gathered below.
