00:00 One year ago today, this man became king and was thrown into a whirlwind week of engagements
00:07 and ceremonies whilst coming to terms with the loss of his mother.
00:11 This morning Charles and Queen Camilla marked the anniversary of Elizabeth II's death
00:16 with prayers and reflection at Crathie Kirk.
00:19 Situated just across the River Dee from Elizabeth's beloved Balmoral, British monarchs have worshipped
00:25 here since Queen Victoria's day.
00:28 The King and Queen took time after the service to say hello to the Balmoral estate staff
00:33 and children from the local primary school.
00:36 In the afternoon, the Prince and Princess of Wales attended a service at St David's
00:40 Cathedral in Pembrokeshire.
00:42 Elizabeth II was the first monarch since the 16th century to visit this cathedral when
00:47 she came here in 1955.
00:50 She restored city status to this small community in south-west Wales in 1994, making it Britain's
00:57 smallest city.
00:58 In a day of private remembrance for the royal family, Princess Eugenie posted this photo
01:03 with her grandmother saying "Forever grateful to you and always in my heart."
01:09 Another of the late Queen's grandchildren, Prince Harry, visited her final resting place
01:13 this morning, St George's Chapel in Windsor.
01:17 Yesterday evening, the Duke of Sussex was at the Wellchild Award Ceremony in London
01:21 and delivered this tribute.
01:23 As you know, I was unable to attend the awards last year and my grandmother passed away.
01:29 As you also probably know, she would have been the first person to insist that I still
01:34 come to be with you all instead of going to her.
01:38 And that's precisely why I know exactly one year on that she is looking down on all of
01:42 us tonight, happy we're together, continuing to support such an incredible community.
01:49 "Come on, fire!"
01:51 "Fire!"
01:52 "Fire!"
01:53 "Fire!"
01:54 Gun salutes rang out from all four UK nations, 21 each from the castles of Edinburgh, Cardiff
02:00 and Royal Hillsborough.
02:03 "Fire!"
02:05 41 from London's Hyde Park, as is traditional for Royal Park salutes.
02:11 A sombre day of remembrance and yet, as King Charles said in a short message on Thursday,
02:17 one in which Queen Elizabeth's long life and devoted service are recalled with great affection.
