King Charles, Queen Camilla return to Bruckingham Palace with tears

The British monarch and his wife, King Charles and Queen Camilla, fought back tears as they received survivors and their relatives at the Buckingham Palace.

Their tuesday's gesture encouraged the spirits of the families who survived or lost their loved ones. They lit candles as a symbolic act of remembrance and hope for the future.

The Palace wrote in emotional statement: "The King and Queen hosted a reception for Holocaust survivors and their families. During the reception, they viewed portraits of seven survivors who had been honoured for services to awareness and education."

This year's observance carries the theme Bridging Generations, encouraging younger people to absorb and pass on the lessons from this dark chapter of history.

The day serves as a reminder of the six million victims, along with millions of others who perished at the time.

During the reception, the guests viewed portraits of seven survivors who had been honoured for services to awareness and education.

These paintings were commissioned by Charles as Prince of Wales and are currently on display in the East Wing of Buckingham Palace.
