The Prince of Wales commemorated Australia and New Zealand’s war dead in a dawn service marking Anzac Day on Tuesday. Hundreds of Australians, New Zealanders, and military personnel watched as William laid a wreath of red poppies and white flowers at Wellington Arch, Hyde Park Corner in London.
The message on the wreath read: “In memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.” He wore a red poppy during the service, and bowed briefly to the wreath before standing in silent tribute for a few moments.
During the service High Commissioner for Australia Stephen Smith and his New Zealand counterpart Phil Goff also laid wreaths.
Digeridoo music was played as well as The Last Post.
