It's Easter and so it's the time of year when the British monarch hands out Maundy money to elderly recipients in a tradition which dates back to 1210.
One man and one woman are chosen for each year the monarch has lived (including the year the monarch is currently living), and they receive Maundy money equivalent in pence to that number of years.
Today was the first time King Charles III performed the ceremony, and he handed each of the 74 elderly men and 74 elderly women who have made a positive impact on their communities 74 pence in commemorative coins at York Minster...
