A 10-year-old girl from North Tyneside received one of the last letters sent out by the Queen before her death.
Millie Francis penned a letter to Queen Elizabeth II back in June to congratulate her on her Platinum Jubilee. The youngster was stunned when she received a letter back from Buckingham Palace on Monday this week.
It contained a card with the UK longest-reigning monarch's picture and the message: "I send you my grateful thanks for your kind message on the occasion of the Seventieth Anniversary of my Accession to the Throne. Elizabeth R 2022"
