MEETING STAFF, VOLUNTEERS AND PATIENTS AT A NEW HOSPICE THE KING LITTLE GIRL'S GIFT CROWNS A DAY TRIP TO NORWICH

Five months on from his coronation, the King was presented with a  newcrown – made out of paper by a four-year-old girl.

Arielle Bayliss gave His Majesty the headpiece, placed on a folded blanket, during his visit to a Norwich hospice.

“Is that for me?” the monarch asked. “Thank you very much. Did you put that together?”

Arielle then made the room laugh as she took back the blanket and gave it to her mother, Rebecca Turner.

His Majesty was officially opening the new Priscilla Bacon Lodge, where Rebecca is being supported through stage 3 melanoma. He heard how patients take part in craft activities with volunteers – and are offered a tipple from a drinks trolley during the morning.

Rebecca, 31, who was joined by her partner Jonathan Bayliss and mother Nicki Turner, told the King: “I’ve been on a rollercoaster of up and down but I’m very happy here.

“And the staff – I feel like I’m a princess. We have Baileys [Irish cream liqueur] at 11 o’clock.”
