Princess Anne joins tribute to unknown WWI soldiers buried with full military honours

The Princess Royal has visited a cemetery in northern France to pay her respects to the soldiers who lost their lives in the First World War.

During her visit to Loos Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery, two unknown soldiers from WWI were buried with full military honours – both from Scottish units including one from The Black Watch (Royal Highlanders).

Forty-six sets of remains that were recovered from a single site had already been laid to rest in the cemetery.

I'm so glad these fallen heroes are getting the honourable burial they so deserve. I just hope they can be identified in time. Rest in peace.

Very much like her mother would have done. Anne cares deeply about the troops that laid down their lives for freedom. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
