The royals visited the Canadian Plot, the Italian Plot, and the Muslim Plot before being given a stonemasonry demonstration.

The Director General of CWGC, Claire Horton CBE, said: “It has been an honour to welcome our President The Duke of Kent, and The Countess of Wessex, to pay tribute to some of the men and women who gave their all, and meet the staff and volunteers at CWGC who help preserve their legacy.

“Brookwood Military Cemetery is our largest site in the UK, and it serves as a reminder of the truly international sacrifice that was given during the World Wars.

“Men and women from across the world who paid the ultimate sacrifice are commemorated here, and it was a privilege to be joined by Their Royal Highnesses to share some of those stories.”
