Prince William and Catherine spend the afternoon of the third day of their Australian tour in Manly, visiting a children’s hospice and then the beach.

Bear Cottage, which provides palliative care, temporary respite, end of life care, and bereavement support for carers and families of ill children, is a unique service which the Duchess of Cambridge was keen to see.

After their visit, the Royal couple basked in the glorious Autumn weather at Manly Beach to watch a Surf Life Saving display.
