Prince Charles dances outside Syrian church in London

Prince Charles has joined in a traditional dance outside an Orthodox Syrian church in west London.

Video captured by social media user Ikram Majeed showed the Prince of Wales exiting the newly opened St Thomas Cathedral yesterday afternoon.

He then unexpectedly joined hands with members of the congregation, and began dancing merrily with a wide grin.

The impromptu performance appeared to thrill onlookers, who cheered and clapped in support.

Prince Charles is no stranger to a traditional dance, having performed a ceremonial sword dance while on tour in Oman earlier this month.
