Prince Edward honours Anzac Day: the Duke of Edinburgh leads the royal family during poignant service in London
-
The Duke of Edinburgh led the royal family in honouring Anzac Day on 25 April, as he continues stepping up to support his brother, the King.
The event marks the anniversary of the start of the First World War Gallipoli landings, and is a national day of remembrance for Australia and New Zealand. The royal father-of-two joined the dawn service at the New Zealand Memorial in London in the early hours, donning a smart black coat as he wrapped up against the cool weather.
Later, he will attend the Service of Commemoration and Thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey.
The Duke of Edinburgh will also attend the Wreath Laying Ceremony at the Cenotaph and lay a wreath on behalf of His Majesty The King.
