Yes, it is.
The TikTok link doesn't seem to show the rest of the video with animals seeming to help to deliver the card and Sir David receiving it at the Royal Albert Hall?
I'm not a huge TikToker so maybe I missed it, but the BBC link on the thread about this in Chat definitely shows all of it.
Thanks for bringing it to my attention, Kate.

I didn’t realise it was longer! Perversely, I think I prefer the shorter version!

Fair enough. I suppose people could be advised to stop the film at the point where the King watches the card leave in the land rover if they don't want to see the animals appearing to deliver it.
Have to say, I loved that bit and - even if I hadn't - it was worth watching, imo, just to see DA being so delighted to receive it and looking so amazingly fit.

Oh, I agree! I just have a limited tolerance for twee. And I think it diluted KC’s message a bit. But hey, I’m just a great big humourless old Hector.🤣

Ah well, one person's twee is another person's charming.
And, as I said, I felt it was worth it to see DA receiving it (presume it was on last night's programme, which I missed).
But hey, I’m just a great big humourless old Hector.
I'm sure you're bring unfair to yourself, especially given the 🤣 emoji - you obviously saw a lot of humour in the that line.
I remember great big, silly old Hector too.

Thanks for sharing the whole clip @LaMarschallin! I’m not embarrassed to admit that it brought tears to my eyes and In a strange coincidence my ring camera caught a fox visiting my front door last night with something in his mouth ( that I assumed was food) maybe Charles sent me a letter too! 😁

It was quite cute, ( me and DS saw it on the programme last night) but DS commented on the irony of using AI (not known to be environmentally friendly) in a piece celebrating someone who campaigns on the environment.....

William at royal Albert hall celebrating David A. Unfortunate that H had to use his AI generated verbiage tribute ahead of that

Thank you @CurlewKate - I watched the long one & I did think it was charming.

inter alia I think JKR has certainly entrenched the idea of owls as postmen . 😊
