The Princess of Wales has joined King Charles and other senior royals at a major Remembrance event in London.
Catherine is gradually returning to public duties following her cancer chemotherapy treatment earlier this year.
She joined other members of the Royal Family as well as senior politicians at the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday night.
Queen Camilla was not able to attend as she was recovering from a chest infection, the palace said in a statement earlier on Saturday.
The Festival of Remembrance – an evening featuring music performances and storytelling – is being held to pay respect to serving personnel, veterans and their families.
The commemorative concert and a Sunday service at the Cenotaph are among the two most important events on the royal calendar.
King Charles, 75, will lead the royal family at both events. The King, who is still receiving cancer treatment, will lay a wreath at the memorial in Whitehall, London on Sunday.
Upon entry into the concert hall the King received a standing ovation from audience members.
The palace announced in February that the King had been diagnosed with cancer and would take time away from public life to undergo treatment.
The following month, Kate, 42, also revealed that she too had been diagnosed with cancer and was getting treatment.
In September she announced that she had completed her cancer treatment and was looking forward to undertaking more engagements “when I can”.
Both her and the King have since made limited returns to public duties. Charles recently toured Australia and Samoa, an overseas trip during which his treatment was paused.
For Catherine, Remembrance events had been flagged as an example of when she might make a public appearance.
She had already made a few tentative returns, beginning with her first public appearance after her cancer diagnosis at the annual Trooping the Colour parade in June.
In September, she attended her first official work meeting since her treatment ended.
Attending the Remembrance events, which are such a big date in the royal calendar, will be seen as another major milestone in her return to public life.
In October, Catherine visited Southport with the Prince of Wales – where they met the families of three children killed in a knife attack in the town.
On Thursday, Prince William described the past year as the “hardest year” of his life.
“I’m so proud of my wife, I’m proud of my father, for handling the things that they have done,” he told reporters at the end of his visit to South Africa to promote his Earthshot eco-project.
“But from a personal family point of view, it’s been brutal.”
You can watch the Royal British Legion’s Festival of Remembrance on BBC One from 2100GMT on Saturday 9 November or on iPlayer.
