At a ceremony marking the 80th anniversary of VJ Day, King Charles and Queen Camilla were brought to tears when Captain Yavar Abbas praised the "brave" monarch for coming amid his cancer treatment.

Queen Camilla was visibly moved at a VJ Day memorial ceremony on Friday as a 105-year-old war veteran paid an emotional, unscheduled tribute to King Charles’s ongoing cancer treatment. The King and Queen joined Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and 33 veterans, aged between 96 and 105, who served in the Far East and Pacific.

It's not every day a 105-year-old war veteran commends your bravery, but that's exactly what occurred today when, according to Hello!, Yavar Abbas saluted "my brave King," King Charles II, for being at the VJ Day remembrance service amid his battle with cancer.
