A sombre-looking Charles III today paid tribute to his 'darling mother' in a rare address to both Houses of Parliament.
The new King said he felt the "weight of history" as he spoke to hundreds of MPs and peers in Westminster Hall, where the Queen will lie in state from Wednesday under its 14th Century hammer-beam roof.
Paying tribute to his mother, he said: "She set an example of selfless duty which, with God's help and your counsels, I am resolved faithfully to follow."
