You're great example to us all, King tells veteran, 99

During a tour of The Gordon Highlanders Museum in Aberdeen, Charles was shown a family heirloom from the First World War.

It was a kilt worn by a soldier who was wounded so grievously he was declared dead only for his status to be amended to injured, or "wounded in action", the next day.

As the Duke of Rothesay, Charles was appointed colonel-in-chief of the regiment in 1978 and remained so until its amalgamation with the Queen's Own Highlanders in 1994.

After meeting volunteers and seeing renovations to the museum, the King spoke to former soldiers including 99-year-old Jim Glennie.

As an 18-year-old private, he was part of the invasion force which landed at Sword Beach on D-Day.
