King Charles shared the video one year on from his cancer diagnosis.
King Charles has shared an emotional video featuring Sir Chris Hoy, Amy Dowden and other BBC stars one year after his shock cancer diagnosis.
The monarch, 76, who was diagnosed with cancer last year has teamed together with a number of celebrities to share a poignant and emotional video message on social media for World Cancer Day.
In the video, celebrities and cancer survivors such as Adele Roberts and Amy Dowden have issued messages of support to people currently battling the disease.
The King has also shared information on organisations that can help, including Macmillan, Maggie's and Cancer Research UK.
The monarch wrote alongside the video: "This World Cancer Day, we are sending love to all those navigating a cancer diagnosis – as well as the incredible doctors, nurses, charities and families who work tirelessly to support them."

As well as messages of support from a number of famous faces in the video, including diver Tom Daley - whose dad passed away from cancer in 2011 - representatives from various organisations also shared messages of support to cancer patients.
This included Gemma Peters, CEO of Macmillan Cancer Support, and Dame Laura Lee, CEO of Maggie's.
The emotional video comes almost exactly a year after Buckingham Palace confirmed the King had been diagnosed with cancer.

The monarch is not the only royal to have released a social media message to mark World Cancer Day.
On Monday, the King's daughter-in-law Princess Kate, who finished her own cancer treatment in October after being diagnosed last year, shared an image of herself standing with outstretched arms in woodlands.
The photo was taken by her youngest son Prince Louis, six.
The princess captioned the post with a moving message that read: "Don’t forget to nurture all that which lies beyond the disease. C."
