It's tradition for members of the British public to receive a birthday card from the monarch when they turn 100, but one lucky woman got an even more special gift. Rona Grafton was treated to a rare in-person greeting from King Charles III on her 100th birthday on Thursday,

King Charles and Queen Camilla celebrated Rona Grafton's 100th birthday during an away day in Middlesbrough, hand-delivering one of their famous cards.

King Charles personally delivered a 100th birthday card as he marked the first time a monarch had visited Middlesbrough in over three decades. He was joined by his wife, the Queen, as they packed in four engagements between them.
