King Charles marks 76th birthday at ‘surplus food festival’
King Charles III has marked his 76th birthday on Thursday by opening two food distribution hubs, as part of his Coronation Food Project that he launched a year ago in the hopes of bridging the gap between food poverty and food waste.
Charles visited one of the new hubs in south London, which is hosting a "surplus food festival" where meals will be made using food that might otherwise have gone to waste.
He was due to open the second Coronation Food Hub in Merseyside in northwest England, in a virtual ceremony.
