Headline: Queen Camilla visits Sacristy Project at Westminster Abbey

Caption: Remains of a 13th-century monk uncovered in a medieval sacristy within the grounds of Westminster Abbey, central London, during building work on the Westminster Abbey Sacristy Project. Monks kept their vestments, altar linens, chalices and other sacred items used in mass here. Ultimately the site was used as a burial ground thought to contain the bones of hundreds of buried bodies. The new space, which will be named The King Charles III Sacristy, is being constructed to house state-of-the-art welcome, security and ticketing facilities, allowing the Abbey itself to be preserved as a sacred space.
