Following her exit, the Royal Family shared a touching message via social media to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the National Flag of Canada."On this day in 1965, Canada's red and white maple leaf flag was raised for the very first time on Parliament Hill," read the post from Saturday (February 15).

Accompanying the post was a bilingual letter, reflecting Canada's dual national languages, paying tribute to the occasion."Today my wife [Queen Camilla] and I [King Charles] join with Canadians across Canada, and around the world, to commemorate an important milestone – the 60th anniversary of the Canadian flag. "On February 15, 1965, the red and white maple leaf was first flown on Parliament Hill in Ottawa.

Since that time, it has become internationally recognised as a symbol of a proud, resilient and compassionate country.""For my own part, it is a symbol that never fails to elicit a sense of pride and admiration, as I recall with the deepest affection my many Canadian visits and friendships."
