It was the first investiture ceremony carried out by Charles for five months, and his first since being diagnosed with cancer in February.
The Archbishop of Canterbury has described last year’s coronation as “deeply moving” after being honoured by the King, who made his return to a major investiture.
The monarch, who was given permission by his doctors to return to public duties last month, greeted 52 recipients one by one at Windsor Castle on Tuesday. Asked about his personal memories of the coronation, Mr Welby said: “I was very keyed up, a lot of adrenaline, but not nervous because we’d rehearsed so much very focused.
Dr Hoyle revealed there were plans for a building in the King’s honour to be built on the side of Westminster Abbey.
