Prince Charles arrives at Spencer House in London this afternoon with his wife Camilla to celebrate his 70th birthday
Prince Charles celebrated his big day today as he arrived for a special tea party for 70 inspirational people also marking their 70th birthday this year.
The Prince of Wales walked into Spencer House in London with his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall carrying a glittering bag and 70th birthday balloon.
Guests were nominated by Age UK and include volunteers who are actively involved with a number of their patronages including The Prince's Trust, The Silver Line, Maggie's and Barnardo's.
Charles was handed the balloon and a £5.99 bottle of 'Hot Nuts' grey squirrel repellent in a bag by the Daily Mail's Rebecca English, along with her fellow royal correspondents Hannah Furness and Valentine Low.
The Prince of Wales laughed and joked: 'Where do you find these terrible things?!'
It comes after the heir to the throne said in an interview with County Life that he loves red squirrels that live on the Balmoral estate and even lets them into his home.
Asked how he felt, the future king said: ‘Older… I'm not sure.
‘It's rather like indigestion. "Many Happy Returns" are not quite the same as you get older.’
Asked whether she had finally found him a present, after telling the Mail last week that she was stuck for ideas, his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, said teasingly: ‘I did. But I'm not telling.’
The prince chuckled when asked if he were slowing down, adding: ‘You may see it, slowly but surely,’ to which Camilla retorted lovingly ‘I doubt it!’
The Prince of Wales said: ‘Thank you all very much and asked the Mail's reporter if she had recovered from jet lag after the royal tour of Africa, saying: 'I don't know how you do it'.
It came after gun salutes were fired in London within an hour of each other earlier today to mark his birthday.

Charles was asked how he was feeling, and replied: 'How I am feeling? Older, older. I'm not sure, it's like indigestion - many happy returns aren't quite as good as you get older'

The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery, the ceremonial saluting battery of Her Majesty's Household Division, fired a 41-gun Royal Salute from Green Park at noon.
The soldiers, horses and guns of the battery had left their forward mounting base in Wellington Barracks at 11am before making their way up Birdcage Walk, past the Queen Victoria Memorial and up Constitution Hill.
After a turn in Hyde Park, they then made their way to the firing position at Green Park after the Band of the Royal Artillery will play a selection of celebratory music close to the firing position.
Some 71 horses pulling six First World War-era 13-pounder Field Guns then came into action from the Wellington Arch end of the park to place the guns into position for the Royal Salute in the park.

On the word of command each of the six guns fired blank artillery rounds at ten-second intervals until 41 shots were fired. The horses and riders then collected the guns and took them back to Wellington Barracks.
Just after midday, the Honourable Artillery Company, the City of London's Reserve Army Regiment, in ceremonial attire, left their barracks at Armoury House to drive through the City in their liveried Pinzgauer vehicles.
They had an escort to the Tower of London to fire a 62-gun Royal Salute at 1pm - the second salute of the day. When the Guns arrived at the Tower, they were placed into position, on the riverbank, overlooking HMS Belfast.
The three L118 Ceremonial Light Guns, similar to those used operationally in recent years in Afghanistan, were used to fire the 62 gun salute across the Thames at ten second intervals.

A Royal Salute normally comprises 21 guns, but this is increased to 41 if fired from a Royal Park or Residence. At the Tower of London, which is a Royal Residence, a total of 62 rounds are fired on Royal anniversaries.
This also includes an additional 21 guns for the citizens of the City of London to show their loyalty to the Monarch.
Elsewhere, Army Reservists from 104 Regiment Royal Artillery fired a 21-gun salute at Cardiff Castle today.
Congratulations from around the world have been sent to the Prince of Wales as he celebrates his 70th birthday.

Pick polka dots like the Duchess of Cambridge in Alessandra Rich
You might recognise the Alessandra Rich dress that the Duchess of Cambridge is wearing in this adorable family photo, and it's not because Kate has been recycling her outfits again.
Suits star Abigail Spencer wore this very same style to attend the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's wedding back in May this year, and we heard a lot of people say it was their favourite dress of the day (apart from Meghan's of course!).
We love the vintage-inspired contrast collar and cuffs on this dress, which is typical of the Alessandra Rich atheistic. Polka dots are a huge trend right now, and you really can't go wrong with classic navy and white, right? Oh we can't forget to mention quite how flattering the pleated skirt is.
Sadly this exact midi has now sold out, but click (right) to buy something similar by the label, or check out the best of the rest below.
This Zara dress is spot on!

The Welsh Guards at home and abroad recorded special video messages for their Colonel from troops in Iraq, Afghanistan, Germany, Chile and Canada, as well as in the UK.
The Royal Family also wished the nation's longest serving heir to throne 'a very Happy 70th Birthday' via Twitter, accompanied by a montage of photos of the prince through the years.
Charles was spending his birthday working, holding meetings before he and the Duchess of Cornwall had tea with a group of inspirational people who also celebrate their 70th birthday this year.
In the evening, the Queen will throw a Buckingham Palace birthday bash for her eldest son and heir.
European royals and Charles's closest friends and family are expected to gather at the glittering black-tie party in the monarch's London residence.
Charles was surrounded by his nearest and dearest in the official images marking his milestone birthday.
In two photos released by Clarence House, the prince was pictured sat on a bench with his grandson Prince George, wife Camilla and granddaughter Princess Charlotte.
Stood behind the prince and his wife were the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, with Kate holding Prince Louis, and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
The photographs are rare images of the prince with his three grandchildren, which will increase to four when Meghan gives birth next year.
Charles is beginning his eighth decade from a position of confidence, with his charitable work in full swing, his sons forging their own public lives and Camilla by his side providing support.
The photo shoot was staged in the garden of Clarence House in September, and appears to show a 'before and after' of the moment the photographer said 'smile for the camera'.
In one image, the royals are looking straight ahead and smiling, while in the second Meghan is bending over as she laughs, Camilla has put her arm on three-year-old Charlotte's shoulder and is pointing at something, while George has a fit of the giggles.
Baby Louis, who is six months old, looks happy and content in the photos and has almost grown a full head of hair, while his big brother, five-year-old George, dangles his long legs either side of his grandfather's knee.
The pictures were taken by Getty photographer Chris Jackson.
Prime Minister Theresa May praises Prince Charles's 'total commitment' to public service
Prime Minister Theresa May (pictured today at 10 Downing Street) has led tributes to the Prince of Wales on his 70th birthday
Theresa May has led tributes to the Prince of Wales on his 70th birthday, praising his 'total' commitment to public service.
The Prime Minister, opening a Commons debate to mark the occasion, said the heir to the throne had spent his life 'defying expectations and refusing to be categorised'.
She told MPs his sons - the Duke of Cambridge and Duke of Sussex - were a 'true credit to their father' and said: 'We as a nation are immensely proud of them and I am sure he is too.'
Mrs May, paying tribute to Charles's role as a father and grandfather, said: 'Regardless of your background or resources, raising children is never an easy task. It is made all the more difficult when they suffer a devastating loss at an early age.
'So today, as Prince William and Prince Harry make their own way in the world and begin to raise their own families, I know I speak for all of us when I say they are a true credit to their father.'
The Prime Minister said Charles was often seen to be 'a man ahead of his time', citing his warnings on pollution, sustainable agriculture and the dehumanising effects of technology in the workplace.
And she said: 'Throughout the Prince of Wales's life, his commitment to public service has been total. That is true of his royal duties, which see him performing well-over 600 official engagements every year.
'It is true of his work with the Commonwealth in which he has played an active role for many years, and the esteem in which he is held by the Commonwealth was made clear at the Heads of Government meeting earlier this year when the member states unanimously chose to name him as the next head of the organisation.'
Mrs May also spoke of Charles's love of music, and joked that they shared a passion for dance.
She said: 'He remarked in 1974 that 'if I hear rhythmic music, I just want to get up and dance' - something I'm sure many of us empathise with.'
The humble address sends a message to the prince 'to offer His Royal Highness the warmest good wishes of the House upon the occasion of his 70th birthday, expressing the gratitude of the nation for his lifetime of service to the country and the Commonwealth and praying that His Royal Highness may long continue in health and happiness'.

The Prince of...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
