Prince Charles is celebrating turning 65 today.

The Prince is currently on a Royal tour in India, but his birthday will be marked in London by gun salutes in Green Park and at Gun Wharf at the Tower of London.

Charles may have turned 65 but his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, said his age does not mean his workload will decrease.

Here is a look back at the last 65 years.
