King Charles given paper crown at Norwich hospice opening

King Charles III has been presented with a paper crown by a four-year-old girl whose mum is staying at a hospice.

The King received his royal gift during a visit to open the new Priscilla Bacon Lodge hospice in Norwich. The £12.5m facility has 24 inpatient rooms, a chapel, a cafe and an outdoor courtyard.

Arielle, whose mother Rebecca Turner has stage three melanoma, made the garland during a hospice crafts session.

Ms Turner, 31, joked with the monarch about having a morning tipple and said: "It's a day I'll remember forever."
