Passchendaele 1917 Commemorations

30 July 2017

King Philippe & Queen Mathilde joined the Duke & Duchess of Cambridge to attend the Last Post at the Menin Gate in Ypres.


Kate wore a  hat with a white feather, such an odd choice for this occasion.


Clotilde Boël acted as lady-in-waiting.








Then they watched a BBC spectacle commemorating the centenary of the battle of Passchendaele - also known as the third battle of Ypres, at the Ypres Grand Place.




Afterwards they visited the In Flanders Fields Museum where they met descendants of WWI veterans.
