After her tour of the center, Her Majesty, chairman of the RVS since 2012, unveiled a plaque to mark her visit.

The Royal Voluntary Service is one of Britain's largest charities, with volunteers supporting the NHS and thousands of vulnerable people in the community.

The charity works in local communities, organizing community, lunch and social clubs, dementia services, home care from hospital, First Time for Everything events and patient transport.

Yesterday the Queen appeared in good spirits as she stepped out from Bath to celebrate the 850th anniversary of the St John's Foundation.

The King's wife was greeted by hundreds of excited schoolchildren after visiting the charity's court in the Chapel of St Michael Within, which is located in the courtyard of St John.

For the second day in a row, the Queen provided an update on her husband's recovery after his three-night stay in hospital. When asked about his health, she said: “He is recovering well, thank you.”

The radiant queen wrapped up warm in a navy blue coat, leather gloves and chic knee-high boots, adding a pop of vibrant color to her look with a brightly patterned scarf and a dazzling set of earrings.

Earlier in the day, Camilla, who became patron of the St. John's Foundation in 2009, seemed happy to chat with the older residents of the courtyard over a cup of tea.

Yesterday, the Queen said the King is “getting by” and “doing the best he can” after his three-night stay in hospital. She was asked how her husband was doing as she opened a new Maggie's Cancer Support Center at the Royal Free Hospital in London.

The King was discharged from the London Clinic on Monday after undergoing a successful procedure for an enlarged prostate, and appeared in good spirits as he left the hospital with his wife by his side.

Queen Camilla is the eldest member of the Royal Family and is making public engagements while the King recovers and the Princess of Wales recovers from abdominal surgery, with Prince William taking a break from royal events to support his family.

Meanwhile, St John's Foundation, originally founded as a medieval retreat, provides accommodation and support to older adults, as well as working with children to ensure they have the best start in life.

The Queen was greeted by the Lord Lieutenant yesterday; the charity's chairman, Ben Fletcher; and CEO, David Hobdey.

She then made her way to the 16th century Chapel of St Michael Within, which is located in the courtyard of St John's and is home to 40 of the charity's 94 almshouses for older adults.

In the chapel, Her Majesty was joined by around nine residents of the charity over a cup of tea.

Camilla walked the short distance from the almshouse to Bath Abbey, where a service was held to mark the 850th anniversary of the St. John's Foundation.

The public began lining the route and the Queen took an impromptu walk, shaking hands and chatting briefly with well-wishers.

Outside the abbey she was greeted by the excited cheers of nine hundred schoolchildren from seven nearby primary schools who shouted 'Camilla' as she arrived and jumped up and down with Union Jack flags.

Her Majesty – and her team of assistants – seemed pleased, perhaps even slightly surprised, by the young audience's barely controlled enthusiasm, with one assistant noting that there was 'a real buzz'.

She then attended a service at Bath Abbey, with performances by 90 children from six local schools supported by the St John's Foundation.

Camilla left the abbey to a rousing rendition of 'God Save the King' and received flowers from two local schoolchildren, Robin Liddell, seven, and eight-year-old Mason Ricketts.
