Just days before witnessing the third coronation in her lifetime, royalist Peggy Coates was celebrating her own special milestone with a card from King Charles III.
Family and staff gathered at Eothen Care Home, in Gosforth, to wish the great-grandmother a very happy 100th birthday. The lounge was decorated with banners, balloons and birthday cards to commemorate her centenary.
And among the colourful display of cards and flowers was a card from King Charles III and Camilla, Queen Consort, which was received with such pride that Peggy agreed that she would frame it.
