Royal couple lay wreath at war memorial

THE Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall have wound up their Australian tour with a visit to The Australian War Memorial.

There they laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to the haunting sounds of a bugle.

Later the royal couple walked down the colonnade past the names of Australia's war dead, inspecting the section which lists those who died in Afghanistan.

The Roll of Honour is updated each Remembrance Day with the names of those killed in action during the year.

After signing the visitors' book, Prince Charles and the Duchess shook hands and chatted with members of the several hundred strong crowd gathered outside the memorial.

Earlier the pair arrived to calls of "Charles, Charles! I love you Charles!"

British expat Mark Rowan, 48, was proud to be amongst the crowd.

Mr Rowan moved to Australia five months ago and works for the Royal Australian Navy.

"In this day and age, especially with the republican side of things, you're never too sure but it's a good turnout," he told AAP.

Mr Rowan was joined by his eight-year-old daughter Bethany who was waving a Union Jack flag with a picture of Prince William and his wife Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge.

Prince Charles and the Duchess were on their way to Canberra airport where they will board a plane for New Zealand.
