Harry to attend Anzac services in London

Prince Harry will lay a wreath on behalf of the Queen at The Cenotaph in London as part of Anzac Day commemorations.

Prince Harry will attend three services commemorating Anzac Day in London, laying a wreath on behalf of the Queen at the Cenotaph.

The services organised by the New Zealand and Australian High Commissions are the dawn service at Wellington Arch, the wreath-laying ceremony and parade at The Cenotaph, and the service of commemoration and thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey.

The prince will lay a wreath at The Cenotaph on behalf of the Queen, Kensington Palace confirmed in a statement on Monday.

Anzac Day has been commemorated in London since the first anniversary of the Anzac landings at Gallipoli in 1916, when King George V attended a service at Westminster Abbey.
