These are the charities, groups and professional bodies the Queen was patron of in Wales

The Queen, who died today (September 8) was patron of a number of Welsh charities. From military groups to those supporting historic buildings and charities - these are the groups she has supported.

It was announced in December, 2016, she would step back from some roles. That included the Welsh Rugby Union. Her eldest grandson, the Duke of Cambridge has taken over from Her Majesty in that role.

The Queen remained patron of a number of different grounds in Wales, including the Friends of Llandaff Cathedral and the Royal Welsh Officers' Association.

Her death was announced at 6.30pm today.
