LEADING COMMEMORATIONS ON ANZAC DAY THE PRINCE OF WALES LAYS A WREATH IN A DAWN SERVICE TO PAY TRIBUTE TO FALLEN SOLDIERS

The Prince of Wales led commemorations for Australia and New Zealand’s war dead at a dawn service to mark Anzac Day last week

Prince William laid a wreath of red poppies and white flowers shaped in the Prince of Wales feathers at Wellington Arch in London’s Hyde Park Corner as military personnel and expatriates from both nations watched.

His message read: “In memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.”

The Prince, who wore a red poppy, arrived at the arch shortly before 5am. He joined High Commissioner for Australia Stephen Smith and his New Zealand counterpart Phil Goff, who also laid wreaths.
