King Charles and Queen Camilla are attending an Easter Sunday church service in St. George's Chapel, Windsor.
They have been joined by other members of the Royal Family, including the Prince of Wales and Catherine, Princess of Wales, who has not been at the traditional event for the past two years due to her cancer treatment.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, and daughters Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are absent, after attending last year.

Cheers were heard from onlookers as Prince William and Princess Catherine led their children into the chapel.
As they walked, Princess Charlotte waved to the crowds of people behind barriers watching on.
Princess Anne joined, accompanied by husband Sir Tim Laurence, as well as Prince Edward and his family.
The King and Queen arrived last and one onlooker was heard shouting "God bless the King".
The service is seen as a traditional family event as opposed to an official engagement.
The King did not issue an Easter message this year.
That event commemorates the Last Supper and the importance of humility and service to others.
The King presented gifts to 77 men and 77 women from the UK in recognition of outstanding Christian service and for helping people in their communities.
