Queen Camilla looked visibly touched as schoolchildren in Guernsey sang happy birthday to her yesterday afternoon.
The royal celebrates her 77th birthday today and will appear in public again today for the State Opening of Parliament in London.
The King and Queen visited Les Cotils at L'Hyvreuse, in Saint Peter Port yesterday - where they met primary school children from Sark school.
During the engagement, the children sang happy birthday to Queen Camilla in Sercquais, which is derived from Norman French.
The children were accompanied by a teacher, who played the guitar during the performance as they held onto their Union Jack flags.

The Queen - who was wearing a royal blue coat dress by Fiona Clare and six-strand pearl necklace - looked touched as she was serenaded by the primary school children.
Afterwards, Camilla turned to one of the event's hosts and said: 'I recognised the tune but not the language!'
The royal then walked over to the group and said: 'Thank you very much children, that was very kind.
'That was your special language, wasn't it?'
Following their performance, Camilla then posed for a photo with the children, who then presented her with a poster filled with birthday wishes.
The children also gifted her a map of Guernsey which had their school pinpointed on it.
Camilla proudly held up the poster and beamed while excited schoolchildren looked on.
According to the BBC, less than 3.3 per cent of Guerseny residents were able to speak Sercquais in 1998.

While the Queen carried out her engagements this afternoon, royal fans noticed she was sporting a bandage on her ankle.
Aides said she has suffered an 'slight ankle sprain' while on neighbouring Jersey - where the heavens opened for the royal visit - yesterday.
The white dressing was clearly visible as she and King Charles arrived in St Peter Port to be greeted by huge crowds and blue skies.
Admiring one lady’s flat shoes, Camilla joked: ‘I wish I had a pair of those.’
The royal explained that she had caught her heel as she was walking and ‘pulled the ligament’. ‘It’s quite sore,’ she said.
She also referred to her birthday today saying that she wouldn’t have the chance to put her foot up and rest it as she will be at the State Opening of Parliament.
The official ceremony will see King Charles read out prime minister Sir Keir Starmer's pledges for the next parliament after his Labour Party won a landslide victory in the General Election on July 4.
