Members of the Royal family, including the Queen and Duchess Catherine, have honoured Britain’s fallen troops at a special Remembrance ceremony in London on Sunday.
The annual commemoration was led by Her Majesty the Queen, who laid a wreath of poppies at the foot of Whitehall Cenotaph in tribute to those soldiers who were killed serving the nation.
Wreaths were also laid by Prince Philip, Prince Charles, Prince William, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward and the Queen’s cousin, the Duke of Kent.
The Duchess of Cambridge, along with the Countess of Wessex and the Duchess of Cornwall were also in attendance, but watched on from a distance as a two-minute silence was observed followed by a gun salute.
Wearing a black Alexander McQueen flared wool coat and Jane Corbett hat, Sunday’s event marked Catherine’s fourth consecutive year attending the ceremony.
Meanwhile, her brother-in-law Prince Harry, who served in Afghanistan in 2007-08 and 2012-13, paid a surprise visit to Kandahar airfield on the weekend to pay his respects to his fellow troops in time for Remembrance Day.
Last week, a pregnant Catherine attended a royal engagement in Wales with her husband Prince William where she was seen carefully cradling her baby bump.
Wearing a soft shade of baby blue, Duchess Catherine kept rugged up warm in a Matthew Williamson coat as she and William toured an oil refinery on the Pembrokeshire coast in Wales.
