The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall will leave Canada having made an altruistic gesture to the families of the country's servicemen and women.

A Forces charity will receive a donation of 250,000 Canadian dollars (£150,000) from the Government after Charles and Camilla made a request to the nation's Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

The prince and duchess asked that any presents they would receive as part of the traditional exchange of gifts at the end of a royal tour be replaced by a charitable contribution to a military organisation.
