King Charles III has delivered his first-ever Christmas Day message as sovereign.
It is the first Christmas that Britons will be without the warm words of Queen Elizabeth II since the first televised speech in 1957.
The King thanked the public for the outpouring of love and sympathy following the death of his mother.
He then said that Christmas can be a “poignant” time for those who have lost loved ones.
