The mother-of-two wore a black coat and matching hat, as she bowed her head during a two-minute silence at 11am.

Princes William and Harry joined their father Charles, and others, in laying wreaths to remember the war dead.

Kate has been stepping back into the limelight after suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe form of morning sickness.

She is in her second trimester, with the royal baby due in April.
