The monarch met a number of patients at the hospital yesterday (Image: Richard Pohle - WPA Pool/Getty Images)
He also spoke about ageing with war veterans on VJ Day in August, joking that bits “fall off” when you get to the age of 70.
While the King may be getting older, he shows no signs of slowing down from royal duty, despite the fact he is still undergoing cancer treatment following his diagnosis last year.
When asked about how he was feeling yesterday by a cancer patient, the monarch said: “I’m not too bad.”
