William and Kate will join the Queen, Prince Philip and other senior members of the Royal Family at the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday November 7 for the British Legion's traditional televised service.

The following day, Remembrance Sunday, the couple will join other relatives at the Cenotaph, where Kate will watch from the Foreign Office balcony as William lays a wreath to mark the sacrifice of Britain's War dead.

William, 33, will take the veterans' salute on Horse Guards Parade after the wreath-laying ceremony which this year will also be attended by King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands and his wife Queen Maxima in honour of the 70th anniversary of the liberation of their country from Nazi tyranny.

Queen of Jewelry

Brooches, usually worn on the left shoulder, were a favourite for the royal and the Queen was believed to have over 100 in her collection. A selection that would go with an outfit were presented to her - usually three at a time - by her senior dresser and confidante Angela Kelly on special trays that once belonged to Queen Mary. The royal had a wide variety of different brooches which she often wore with her usual pearl earrings and necklace, including a spray of flowers brooch by the people and government of Australia during her Coronation tour of 1954./
