Watch the moment King Charles suprised guests at a music reception at Windsor Castle by playing a recorder crafted from a carrot (3 April).

During the event, the London Vegetable Orchestra, the UK’s only ensemble that creates instruments from locally grown vegetables, performed in St George’s Hall.
