The sapphire and diamond fringe Art Deco-style earrings which are now part of the Queen’s private collection, as they passed down to her majesty upon the death of the Queen Mother in 2002, were given to Kate to wear for the event.

Supporting the host, the Duchess’parents Carole and Mike, sister Pippa, brother James and sister-in-law Alizee were all present, along with popstars Leona Lewis and Ellie Goulding, England football hero Jordan Henderson and comic Jason Manford, all adding to the star-studded nature of the event.

The heroes of Operation Pitting which helped evacuate 15,000 people from Afghanistan attended as well.

Prince William also delivered a reading to the audience, joined by TV host Kate Garraway and Paralympian and doctor Kim Daybell.

Kate wrote in a foreword in Abbey’s order of service: “The Covid-19 pandemic has presented us all with countless and previously unimaginable challenges. We have lost loved ones, seen our frontline workers placed under immeasurable pressure, and we have experienced heart-wrenching isolation from those we hold most dear.

“Alongside this, we have seen how communities have come together to support those most in need. And through our separation from others, we have been reminded just how powerful human connection is to us all.

“Just how much we need one another. And how loving and feeling a sense of belonging to one another can provide comfort in tough times. The importance of simply being together.”
