A touching gesture by the Countess of Wessex has been revealed by one of her patronages.
Sophie, 55, took the time to call a member of the public as they celebrated their 100th birthday last week.
The charity Blind Veterans UK shared photos of Elizabeth Sharpe-Nelson as she received her telegram from the Queen on her 100th birthday, writing in a tweet: "Last week our lovely #blindveteran Elizabeth Sharpe-Nelson celebrated her 100th birthday. A surprise call from Sophie HRH The Countess of Wessex @RoyalFamily was the cherry on top of her 'perfect day.'"
