\n

The Princess of Wales laid a wreath on behalf of His Majesty The King after the parade. Prince William<\/a>\u2019s wife will shortly attend the Service of Commemoration and Thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The service will be a traditional church service which will include an address from the Dean of Westminster, readings from the New Zealand and Australian High Commissioners, prayers read by children of each country, and a M\u0101ori waiata (song) performed by London-based Ng\u0101ti R\u0101nana.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The day is used to commemorate all Australians and New Zealanders who have lost their lives in conflict and recognise all those who have served.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Anzac Day has been observed in London since King George V attended the first service at Westminster Abbey in 1916 to mark the anniversary of the landings at Gallipoli.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It has since been an important event in the royal calendar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Earlier this morning, Princess Anne was the first royal to attend an Anzac Day event as she wrapped up warm in a long dark green coat to attend the Dawn Service at Wellington Arch, Hyde Park Corner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

At the service, which lasted about 45 minutes, Anne listened to various readings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The service, organised by the New Zealand and Australian High Commissions, also included the Last Post, silence, reveille and national anthems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Before leaving, Anne laid a wreath and signed a book of remembrance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
