STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSLONDON - King Charles will on Friday privately mark the first anniversary of the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth and his accession to the throne, spending the day quietly at the Scottish royal home where the late monarch passed away last year.
However, as is customary for such royal occasions, there will be gun salutes fired in a London park and at the Tower of London.
