At 11am, Big Ben chimed eleven and millions of people around the country took part in a two-minute silence – an act of respect for the fallen servicemen and women.

Cenotaph

Protocol dictates that husbands and wives of the Royal Family watch proceedings from balconies overlooking the Cenotaph.  This year, Kate stood on the Foreign Office’s balcony with The Countess of Wessex and The Duchess of Cornwall.

Kate’s outfit:

Kate chose the black wool “Lio” coat by American designer Diane von Furstenberg.

This is the third time the Duchess has worn the coat to the National Service of Remembrance.  She first wore it in 2011 and then again in 2012 (pictured below) –

The coat is from the designer’s 2008 collection, so it’s no longer available for purchase.

Kate wore a new hat for the service.  It’s thought to be from John Boyd Hats in London.
