The tender moment came as Sophie, 57, and her husband Prince Edward, 58, visited Manchester to view the floral tributes in St Ann's Square and meet members of the public. They will also view the civic book of condolence at the city's central library and light a candle in memory of the Queen at Manchester Cathedral. King Charles III returned to his Highgrove home in Gloucestershire yesterday evening. He will have a private day of reflection today and is not expected to attend any public events.
