The Prince of Wales arrived at one of his 70th birthday celebrations earlier this week with a milestone foil balloon, adding a touch of levity to an otherwise serious occasion.
The Duke and Duchess of Cornwall were greeted by fans as they arrived for a tea party at Spencer House in London, celebrating 70 inspirational people marking their 70th birthday this year.
Royal reporters waiting at the event presented Charles with the balloon and a number of other novelty gifts.
Despite commenting; “Where do you find these terrible things?”, Charles kept a tight hold on his balloon for the rest of the walk about.
