Former musician Bill Stanley took the photo when he was 12 and shared it with the Queen on her visit to Shrewsbury.

The Queen said the King would be “delighted” to see a photograph a well-wisher in Shrewsbury had kept safe since he took it in the 1950s in the hopes of sharing it with the royal family.

He said: “I spent the day with Lord Mountbatten and he said to me, ‘would you like to take a picture?’ because I had with me a Brownie box camera, so I took a picture and I have been waiting until today for a casual opportunity to tell them I had this photo.“Lord Mountbatten and King Charles were the greatest of friends, Charles really loved him, so I think he might find that touching.“I was going to write to him but it seemed so informal and that’s not me.

Mr Mustafa, 65, said: “I was really glad she accepted my gift. We all need to learn from each other’s faith and those holy books are the main platform for that so I’m really glad I could do that on behalf of the interfaith forum and the Shrewsbury Muslim Centre.
