At a ceremony marking the 80th anniversary of VJ Day, King Charles and Queen Camilla were brought to tears when Captain Yavar Abbas praised the "brave" monarch for coming amid his cancer treatment.

King Charles and Queen Camilla were spotted in a “rare” emotional display today as a veteran addressed the monarch’s cancer battle. The King, 76, and Queen Camilla, 78, took a break from their summer holidays to attend the National Arboretum in Staffordshire to mark the 80th anniversary of VJ Day - the day in which World War II officially ended.

Queen Camilla was visibly moved at a VJ Day memorial ceremony on Friday as a 105-year-old war veteran paid an emotional, unscheduled tribute to King Charles’s ongoing cancer treatment. The King and Queen joined Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and 33 veterans, aged between 96 and 105, who served in the Far East and Pacific.
