Each year ahead of Easter Sunday, the Queen presents special silver Maunday coins to deserving British seniors at a special ceremony.
This year, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the coins were instead mailed to the recipients, with each receiving a congratulatory letter from the Queen, reports Hello!
magazine. According to Hello!, dozens of Brits aged 70 and older receive Maundy Gifts from the Queen each year, presented to those nominated by their church dioceses.
