The programme began with the Princess of Wales making a heartfelt speech about Queen Elizabeth, but that wasn't the only tribute Princess Kate made to her husband's grandmother.

During the service, images of the late Queen through the ages appeared on a grand piano during an instrumental version of In The Bleak Midwinter, with unseen photos included in the collection chosen.

“This Christmas will be our first without Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth.

“Her Majesty held Christmas close to her heart, as a time that brought people together and reminded us of the importance of faith, friendship and family, and to show empathy and compassion.

“This year, we’ve invited hundreds of inspiring individuals to the service.

“Those who showcase the power of connectedness and community values, allowing us to continue Her Majesty’s tradition of recognising and thanking those who have gone above and beyond to support others.

“Her Majesty leaves with us an incredible legacy and one that has deeply inspired many of us.”
