THE King celebrates turning 77 today - and insists he will not be slowing down any time soon.

Charles is set to spend his big day visiting South Wales with Queen Camilla for a series of community engagements aiming to “highlight and celebrate the region's rich heritage, vibrant arts and culture”.

Despite still receiving treatment for cancer, the monarch has been sticking to his schedule of royal visits around the UK, as well as hosting guests for special receptions at Windsor Castle and his state duties.
