As the monarch rested in Clarence House, he was treated to a serenade from the His Majesty's Pipe Major, in a tradition that dates back to 1843 under the reign of Queen Victoria. The pipe major strolled around the gardens of the stately home playing the bagpipes. The position was created by Victoria, and the late Queen enjoyed the tradition following her accession to the throne in 1952.

Royal fans were moved by the touching tradition, as one posted: "Wonderful tradition, love the history," and a second added: "Such a special tradition and glad to see it continued."
A third said: "It's a wonderful tradition. Love the bagpipe, well played," and a fourth commented: "What a glorious way to wake up! A beautiful tradition. Thank you for sharing with the world."
But a fifth joked about the potential noise, as they teased: "I bet your neighbours love You!! God Save The King."

Last year, the then-Prince of Wales revealed his future plans for Sandringham, telling Country Life that he plans to turn it into a "fully organic operation".
Charles took over running the Norfolk property, where their family have traditionally celebrated Christmas, from his late father Prince Philip in 2017, and is now focused on running it in a way that works with rather than against the environment.
