Princess Anne has been closely associated with the Fankerton hospice – which offers expert palliative care to people from the Forth Vallley area – ever since her first visit way back in 1984.
Take a look at these photographs stretching back seven years and you can plainly see the special relationship the Princess Royal has with everyone at the hospice.
And see if you can spot anyone you know from the myriad of guests – many who were invited along for the day because they had helped the hospice through fund raising or other endeavours.
