Maud's daughter Julie said: "'I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for making Mum's birthday into such a special event.

"I think the staff had fun with Charles and Camilla, posing them in different ways to make mum laugh."

The care home is run by Abbey Healthcare, who owns 16 establishments across England and Scotland.

"She had a lovely visit from some of the pupils, who made her a beautiful card."
