Charles and Camilla travelled to Crathie Kirk to commemorate the life and service of the former monarch.
The King and Queen have marked the first anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s death with a poignant moment of prayers and reflection in the church where she worshipped.
The past 12 months were described by a royal expert as a “momentous” period for the head of state who fulfilled his role in leading the nation as he grieved for his mother.The royal couple were joined at the church, close to Balmoral Castle in Scotland, by the late Queen’s niece and nephew, Lady Sarah Chatto and the Earl of Snowdon, who were close to their aunt, with Lady Sarah seeing the monarch often.
“But we were also glad, just as the family were able to gather here last year, some members of the family were able to be here. The poignant mood of the day lightened when Charles and Camilla left the church and stepped into brilliant autumn sunshine to meet well-wishers.The King and Queen laughed and joked with schoolchildren who presented them each with a bouquet of flowers, and Charles quipped: “Have you got to go back to school now?”
