The 74-year-old monarch echoed his mother's words as he vowed to be of service to all, saying: "In marking the first anniversary of her late majesty's death and my accession, we recall with great affection her long life, devoted service and all she meant to so many of us."

The king stated: "I am deeply grateful, too, for the love and support that has been shown to my wife and myself during this year as we do our utmost to be of service to you all."

Charles, who immediately succeeded his mother as king of the United Kingdom and 14 other countries including Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and his wife Camilla spent most of the day quietly at the Scottish royal home.

In their heartfelt tribute to the late monarch, the royal family released a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, chosen by Charles, which had previously only been seen in an exhibition.
