THE King Charles spent his 76th birthday working in London today as cannon fire rang out across the capital to mark the festive anniversary.
The monarch launched a Coronation Food Project Hub in Deptford, South London, and plans to open another on Merseyside in a virtual ceremony.
The plan involves distributing surplus food to food banks, schools and community centers. The specific program aims to tackle food waste and started a year ago today.
His appearance today followed last night’s appearance at the Gladiator II premiere, without Queen Camilla, who missed the screening as she recovers from a chest infection. There, Charles met Hollywood stars Denzel Washington, Pedro Pascal and Paul Mescal.
The event in Deptford in South London marks the project’s first anniversary, while Charles is set to open another hub in Merseyside at a virtual event later today.
The King received birthday wishes from the Prince of Wales, Prime Minister Keir Starmer and schoolchildren as he celebrates his 76th birthday.

Particularly impressive is the photo in the post made by the royal family to wish the head of Charles, a long day, on the occasion of his 76th birthday.
He is in the palace and the king is wearing a blue suit which is matched with a tie in Greek colors, from his favorite Greek collection which he bought when he visited Athens.
The King’s Horse Artillery fired a 41-gun salute in Green Park.
Another similar ceremony was held at the Tower of London.
He was not accompanied by Queen Camilla, who continues to curtail her duties after falling ill with a chest infection last week.
