Prince Charles has laid out the Government's plans for the next Parliamentary session after he stepped in at the last minute to read the Queen's Speech.

The Queen's son outlined the Government's plans for the first time in her 70-year reign.

The monarch, 96, reluctantly pulled out of the major ceremonial occasion - nearly 60 years after she last missed it - following advice from her royal doctors as she continues to experience "episodic mobility problems".
