The monarch, 75, appeared to be in high spirits as he donned a traditional kilt and sporran to watch the event that was rarely missed by the late Queen.

The Braemar Gathering is one of the most famous of the Highland Games.

The event was a particular favourite of the late monarch who rarely missed the spectacle which takes place in September each year near Balmoral Castle, Aberdeenshire.

The Queen returned to royal duties on Thursday when she made her first visit to the English National Ballet since becoming patron earlier this year.

Later that day, Camilla stepped out of her royal shoes and into her parenting pumps as she headed to the launch of her son Tom Parker-Bowles’ new book.

The Queen attended her final engagement of the week on Friday when she paid a visit to RAF Leeming to meet service personnel and their families to learn about the welfare support they are offered.

The King and Queen are expected to mark the second anniversary of the late Queen’s death tomorrow in quiet reflection and prayer at Crathie Kirk on the Balmoral estate.
