Kate watched her husband Prince William lay a wreath from a balcony of the Foreign Office, along with Sophie, the Countess of Wessex, who was also formal in black attire.

'Suitably sombre?' What on earth did they expect, her dancing the cha cha? What a ridiculous article.

Surely an article on why the Earl of Wessex was taking the parade when he's never fired a shot in anger, in fact couldn't get past the training. A bit of an insult to those who died and those marching past.

A picture of the troops or the Queen, would have been more approriate here.

This is really up there with all the usual vacuous, inane, factually wrong and badly written articles which were the preserve of AOL, but, I think the "journalists" have been moved over to this place. Now though, they don't have the bottle to put their name to the article.

Some points to consider.

1. It is not "at" Remembrance Sunday, it is on Remembrance Sunday.
2. The Queen is always the first to lay a wreath.
3. The Armed Forces have not died, it is members of the Armed Forces.
4. It isn't just Whitehall that observed a two minute silence - everywhere does.
5. Sophie was "also formal in black attire". SO WAS EVERYBODY!! IT'S WHAT YOU WEAR
6. The most unbelievable of all is starting an article about Remembrance Sunday, referring to Kate Middleton living up to the accolade of Hat Person of The Year 2011.

Crap Journalism again.

Was she recyling the clothes perhaps. as for Eddie taking the salute how does a guy who did not complete his basic training become a n officer of any kind . was this rank made up for him like princess annes . what the hell is a commander of women in the royal navy.
