They had been expected to be absent from the funeral but it is understood the new Prince and Princess of Wales decided it was important for them to be there.

Mum-of-three Kate was seen placing a reassuring hand her eldest children’s shoulders as they entered the memorial.

George was pictured singing The Day Thou Gavest, Lord, Is Ended as he stood between his parents.
