King Charles III has praised a 101-year-old D-Day veteran and told him to "keep drinking whisky" during a visit to Lancashire.
The King met Richard Brock in Lancaster, where he was greeted by cheering crowds for his first official visit as monarch.
He remembered the veteran from a visit to Normandy last year, and told him "you are fantastic" while at a reception at Lancaster Castle.
Mr Brock's son Tony Brock, who attended with him, said the King "mentioned a nip of whisky and said to keep taking it."
