In pictures: King and Queen attend Braemar gathering

King Charles and bandar taruhan casino live onlineQueen Camilla have been watching Highland games events at the annual Braemar Gathering in Royal Deeside.

The spectacle, which is one of the last Highland games of the summer circuit, draws large crowds from around the world and coincides with the monarch's annual summer holiday at nearby Balmoral.

Before the national anthem was sung there was a minute's silence to remember the Duchess of Kent, who died on Thursday.

Among the events taking place were caber tossing, hammer throwing, Highland dancing, a hill race and a mass pipe band parade.

Saturday's Games were the third that the King has attended as monarch, although he frequently attended while he was the Duke of Rothesay.

He donned a kilt for the event, while Queen Camilla wore a blue coat with a tartan collar.

The Braemar Gathering takes place annually on the first Saturday of September.

The village, in the heart of the Cairngorms, has hosted the event in its present form for almost 200 years.

Queen Victoria attended in 1848 and since then, it has been attended regularly by the reigning monarch.
