The Queen has sent a message of support to the countless people in Pakistan affected by the ongoing floods which have claimed over 1,000 lives.
Her Majesty said she is “deeply saddened” by widespread flooding that has claimed so many lives this summer.
In a message to the country’s president, Arif Alvi, the monarch said: “I am deeply saddened to hear of the tragic loss of life and destruction caused by the floods across Pakistan.
"My thoughts are with all those who have been affected, as well as those working in difficult circumstances to support the recovery efforts. The United Kingdom stands in solidarity with Pakistan as you recover from these terrible events.”
The message, released by Buckingham Palace, was signed “Elizabeth R”.
Alongside that, the Prince of Wales has said he is donating to Islamic Relief, an international aid charity in support of the work to help those affected by the floods. Charles said "my wife and I are deeply saddened by the devastation caused buy the recent floods in Pakistan."
He added: "Our hearts go out to all the victims and their loved ones and to the millions of people who have lost property and their livelihoods.
“Your country is very special to us, with deep and enduring bonds to the United Kingdom. We would like to pay a particular tribute to the Government of Pakistan, the military and emergency services, the countless volunteers and aid agencies who are working tirelessly to save lives and support those in need.
“Times like these remind us of the fragility of our planet and the urgent need for humanity to live in harmony with nature. Our prayers are with all our friends in Pakistan.”
Prime Minister Boris Johnson also said "it's heartbreaking to see the continuing devastation wrought by the floods in Pakistan".
In a tweet he added his "my thoughts go to the victims and those helping with an heroic relief effort. The United Kingdom is sending support and continues to stand by the people of Pakistan in their hour of need."
The horrific floods have taken at least 1,033 lives and affected around 33million people so far.
The deadly weather has been labelled a “serious climate catastrophe” by the country’s climate minister as the death toll continues to rise.
The country has increasingly struggled with floods as climate change melts the glaciers in Pakistan - Pakistan is home to the highest number of glaciers outside the polar region.
This causes a huge "glacial lake outburst" which combined with heavy monsoon rains have proven so deadly.
Shocking videos emerging from the country show people being swept away as houses are torn down and washed away.
Pictures show people being forced to wade along what were once roads and helicopters being deployed to save the stranded.
"I haven't seen destruction of this scale, I find it very difficult to put into words ... it is overwhelming,' said Pakistan's Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari.
The army has been called in to save villages from the flash flooding and heavy rain which has left millions stranded or needing aid.
Kamran Bangash, a spokesman for the government, said 180,000 people have been evacuated from Charsadda, in the north of the country, and 150,000 from Nowshehra district villages.
The Pakistani government declared a state of emergency and the prime minister has asked for international aid in battling the flood.
The floods began in June and have wreaked havoc in Pakistan ever since. Flooding was so bad local media reported that some dams were damaged and even destroyed in places.
The government said that on Sunday alone 119 people died and the number of injured is thought to be at least 1,456 people.
The United Nations said on Thursday it has allocated £2.5million for UN aid agencies and their partners in Pakistan to respond to the floods.
The UN said: "This will be used for health, nutrition, food security, and water and sanitation services in flood-affected areas, focusing on the most vulnerable."
