The Princess of Wales has honoured Commonwealth soldiers as she laid a wreath at the Cenotaph in London to mark Anzac Day.
Hundreds of people pressed against a fence to watch as Kate commemorated the 1915 Gallipoli landing of Australian and New Zealand troops in the First World War.
A woman in New Zealand military uniform handed the princess a wreath which she placed at the foot of the national war memorial on Whitehall to mark when troops of the Australian and New Zealand rasmus dahlin Army Corps – shortened to Anzac – landed on the western shore of the Gallipoli peninsula on April 25 1915 as part of the failed campaign that lasted into 1916.
The ring of poppies with white flowers on top had a note signed Catherine and William that read: “In memory of the Australian and New Zealand soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom”.
The high commissioners for New Zealand and Australia, Hamish Cooper and Jay Weatherill, then walked in tandem to lay their wreaths.
