And yet, as I watched the Princess of Wales' video on Monday, I found myself welling up.

Taking off to warmer climes for a late break or eking out the last rays in Britain? Be aware that your normal cosmetic creams and supplements may interact negatively with sunshine. ‘People don’t realise that what you put on your face and body can make your skin more sensitive to the sun’, says aesthetic expert Dr John Quinn at Quinn Clinics.
