Princess Catherine has joined forces with Princess Anne to mark Anzac Day. The Princess of Wales wowed on Saturday as she arrived at the Wreath Laying Ceremony and Parade at the Cenotaph.

The Princess of Wales laid a wreath on behalf of His Majesty The King after the parade. Prince William’s wife will shortly attend the Service of Commemoration and Thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey.

The service will be a traditional church service which will include an address from the Dean of Westminster, readings from the New Zealand and Australian High Commissioners, prayers read by children of each country, and a Māori waiata (song) performed by London-based Ngāti Rānana.

Saturday’s events will be poignant for the princesses as Anzac Day is an important annual event.

The day is used to commemorate all Australians and New Zealanders who have lost their lives in conflict and recognise all those who have served.

Anzac Day has been observed in London since King George V attended the first service at Westminster Abbey in 1916 to mark the anniversary of the landings at Gallipoli.

It has since been an important event in the royal calendar.

Earlier this morning, Princess Anne was the first royal to attend an Anzac Day event as she wrapped up warm in a long dark green coat to attend the Dawn Service at Wellington Arch, Hyde Park Corner.

At the service, which lasted about 45 minutes, Anne listened to various readings.

The service, organised by the New Zealand and Australian High Commissions, also included the Last Post, silence, reveille and national anthems.

Before leaving, Anne laid a wreath and signed a book of remembrance.
