Fifteen thousand well wishers gather in the North Island town of Cambridge to greet the Royal couple as they lay a wreath at a World War One memorial.

The couple were in the town of Cambridge, Waikato - named after a previous Duke of Cambridge - to lay flowers at its war memorial, but carried out an impromptu walkabout after being greeted by a crowd of 15,000, three-quarters of the town's population.

Earlier, the Duke and Duchess had each laid a single red rose at the feet of a statue of a soldier on the town war memorial.

Cambridge was named in 1864 after Prince George, 2nd Duke of Cambridge, commander-in-chief of the British Army during the Invasion of the Waikato.
