King Charles has released a sweet video showing behind-the-scenes moments from his Coronation in May.
The clip is from a landmark documentary which captured the moment the King returned to Buckingham Palace with Queen Camilla after the service at Westminster Abbey on May 6.
The documentary, which is due to air on Boxing Day, is titled Charles III: The Coronation Year, in which Princess Anne also made an appearance.
Princess Anne said: “Ask any actor who comes off stage having done a performance that they really put a lot into.

“It’s that kind of relief.”
The film lasts 90 minutes and is expected to be a key part of the BBC’s Christmas schedule.
The production crew was given great access to the Royal Family in the run-up to the national bank holiday.
The programme includes interviews with family members, notably Princess Anne, and staff responsible for making the event a success.
On the morning of May 6, King Charles and Queen Camilla were seen having last-minute preparations at Buckingham Palace.
The Queen could be seen walking in her Bruce Oldfield embroidered ivory gown, accompanied by her pages, whom she affectionately called “the lads”.
Camilla added: “Very slow, together.”
Lady Lansdowne, one of Camilla’s ladies in attendance, commented: “It wasn’t until we were all ready that we actually all came together to see each other for the first time.
“She hadn’t seen our dresses and we hadn’t seen her dress. That was a very special moment.
“It was quite like a wedding. It was the bridesmaids going to see the bride.”
The Queen affectionately told her page-boys: “Don’t tread on my dress or that’s going to a be a problem.”
She added to the cameraman: “Here we are, with all the lads.”
