KING MARKS HIS FIRST BIRTHDAY AS MONARCH

> The King has followed in his father the Duke of Edinburgh’s footsteps by becoming Ranger of Windsor Great Park. The news was announced on Charles’ 74th birthday yesterday, and a new photograph of the monarch leaning in contemplation against an ancient oak tree has been released to mark the occasion. Philip was the park’s longestserving Ranger, and his eldest son’s appointment comes 70 years after the duke took on the post in 1952, holding it for 69 years until his death in 2021.
