Prince William has posted a picture of him and his father, King Charles, playing football to mark Father's Day.

In the photograph, the young prince smiles as he and the future monarch stand in a garden.

The picture of the two future kings was taken on 12 June, 1984 in the gardens of Kensington Palace.

Later that same year William would gain a younger brother, with the Duke of Sussex born in September.

The Prince of Wales was joined by his wife, Princess Kate - her first public appearance since the announcement of her cancer diagnosis.
