The event was the couple’s first since they married in April. Since returning from their honeymoon, they have been seen welcoming Barack Obama and his wife Michelle to Buckingham Palace, and attending the Epsom Derby with Queen Elizabeth.

Colin Firth, Elizabeth Hurley, Holly Valance and Sophie Dahl also attended the star-studded event.

William and Catherine’s next public event will be the Trooping of the Colour ceremony to celebrate the Queen’s official birthday tomorrow. William is expected to ride a horse in the parade.
