The Duke of Cambridge will lay a wreath on behalf of the Queen at the Anzac Day ceremony at the Cenotaph, Kensington Palace has announced.

Prince William, second in line to the throne, will also remember Australians and New Zealanders who have lost their lives in conflict by attending a service of thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey.

The two events fall on April 25.

It will follow a Dawn Service at Wellington Arch at London’s Hyde Park Corner which will be attended by the Queen’s cousin the Duke of Gloucester.

Some 300 to 400 former and serving military personnel will join their families and members of veterans associations at the Cenotaph for the wreath laying.

There will be a traditional church service held in the abbey.

It will feature an address by the Dean of Westminster at the traditional service.

There will also be readings from the New Zealand and Australian high commissioners.

Prayers will be read by children of each country and a Maori waiata performed by London-based Ngati Ranana London Maori Club.
