King Charles honours Navy staff including pregnant sailor for role in Queen's funeral

King Charles has honoured Royal Navy staff who played a key role in his beloved mother's funeral - including a heavily pregnant sailor.

Standing proudly in the front rank, seven-months pregnant Medical Assistant Paisley Chambers-Smith was among 150 Royal Naval personnel presented with Royal Victorian Order (RVO) honours by the monarch for their part in Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral processions last September.

She was one of the sailors and officers who took part in the historic event or planned the Navy's involvement, and were presented with honours during an open air ceremony at Windsor Castle today.
