Prince leads Dickens celebrations

Prince Charles and spouse, the Duchess of Cornwall,  lead global celebrations marking Charles Dickens's 200th birth anniversary.


The Prince of Wales paid tribute to the author by placing a wreath on his grave in a service at Westminster Abbey which attracted a large gathering. Readings including those from  actor Ralph Fiennes and Dickens's great-great-grandson Mark Dickens were also a part of the service.


The Prince and the Duchess later visited the Charles Dickens museum in Doughy street.
