German president Frank-Walter Steinmeier has taken part in a wreath-laying ceremony at the ruins of the original Coventry Cathedral.
The city, including the cathedral, was heavily bombed by Germany's air force during World War Two.
The president was joined by his wife Elke Budenbender on the final day of their state visit to the UK.
A wreath was also laid on behalf of the Duke of Kent, who accompanied President Steinmeier to commemorate the 85th anniversary of the Coventry Blitz.
The state visit is the first by a German leader in 27 years.
