Britain's King Charles III, who ascended to the throne following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, gave his first address as sovereign.
"Throughout her life, HM the Queen, my beloved mother, was an inspiration and example to me and to all my family. We owe her the most heartfelt debt any family could owe to their mother, for her love, affection, guidance and example," said the King.
"Her dedication and devotion as sovereign never wavered, through times of change and progress, through times of joy and celebration, and through times of sadness and loss," he added.
