Crowds have already gathered outside of Buckingham Palace for the first anniversary of the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

Gifts and flowers can be seen laid at the front gates of the palace, including some framed photographs of the late monarch.

Royal fans have also written messages of condolences outside Balmoral Castle where King Charles is currently staying.

He will attend a church service held at Crathie Kirk to commemorate the life and service of Queen Elizabeth.

Along with his wife, Charles said he will mark her life with private prayers and a moment of reflection.

The King has thanked the nation for their ‘support’, and released a favourite photograph of his mother.

Charles, in words written and audio spoken at Balmoral Castle, said he recalled with ‘great affection her long life, devoted service and all she meant to so many of us’.

He said: ‘I am deeply grateful, too, for the love and support that has been shown to my wife and myself during this year as we do our utmost to be of service to you all.’
