Meghan and Harry were greeted by a throng of onlookers and posed for photos before making their way to Bondi Surf Bathers Life Saving Club.

Inside the club, the pair spoke with 40 surf live savers, some of whom were among the first responders at the Bondi massacre.

15 innocent people lot their lives when Sajid Akram and his son, Naveed Akram allegedly opened fire on a crowd of people celebrating a Jewish holiday.

They also heard the harrowing story from a mother who had to shield her young daughter as the horrific tragedy unfolded on December 14.

Later the Sussexes hit the sand alongside a mob of bystanders to watch a surf club demonstration.

Harry and Megan then made their way to the Sydney Opera House where another large crowd was patiently waiting to snap the ex-royals.

The par were escorted by their security alongside a media scrum to a nearby wharf where they hopped on boat to set sail on the Sydney Harbour.
