The Prince and Princess of Wales, who will visit the Welsh cathedral of St Davids for a short private service on Friday, paid a personal tribute to the late Queen on the anniversary, saying: "We all miss you."
The message written by William and Kate on Twitter read: "Today we remember the extraordinary life and legacy of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth. We all miss you. W & C." It was accompanied by a family photo of the late monarch surrounded by her great-grandchildren including Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis and her two youngest grandchildren.
The King has also recorded a message and released a favourite photograph of his mother. Charles, in words written and audio spoken at Balmoral Castle, said he recalled with "great affection her long life, devoted service and all she meant to so many of us".

The formal colour photograph chosen by Charles was taken by Cecil Beaton and shows her aged 42 in 1968.
Soldiers and horses who took part in the state funeral procession and proclamation salutes for the new reign will return for Accession Day gun anniversary salutes in the King's honour. Captain Amy Cooper, who was the lead rider in the procession that carried the coffin to lie in state in Westminster Hall, will give the order to fire a 41-gun salute at midday in London's Hyde Park.
A 62-gun salute will also be fired at the Tower of London by the Honourable Artillery Company. The regiment and the King's Troop were responsible for gun salutes after the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Bells will be rung at Westminster Abbey at 1pm in commemoration of the King's accession.
