The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have joined Prince Harry at an art installation symbolising those killed during World War One.
The Royals will each plant a ceramic poppy at the Tower of London exhibition, entitled Blood Swept Lands And Seas Of Red, at the attraction's dry moat.
It is the site where more than 1,600 men swore an oath to the crown in August 1914 after enlisting for the war.
The three climbed the Middle Tower to view the entire artwork, before they walked through the field of poppies and planted their tributes to the war dead alongside General Lord Dannatt, Constable of the Tower of London.
The first ceramic poppy was planted in July and the final one will be installed in the Historic Royal Palaces artwork on Armistice Day, on November 11.
A total of 888,246 poppies - one for each British and Colonial death during the war - will be installed by a team of volunteers.
Profits from the artwork will be divided between six service charities including Help for Heroes and the Royal British Legion.
It comes after commemorative events were held in Belgium, Scotland and Westminster Abbey in London to mark 100 years since the start of the Great War.
An estimated 37 million people were killed or injured in World War One, which lasted from 1914 until 1918.
