And TV cameras caught Charlotte in one particularly adorable moment midway through the ceremony.

The event took place at Westminster Abbey and TV screen were dotted around the building to ensure everyone attending could watch proceedings.

And an adorable moment was spotted between Charlotte and Beatrice as the congregation sang a hymn.

Footage shows that as Charlotte gazed around the huge building as the congregation sang, the young princess caught the eye of Beatrice behind her.

As the pair locked eyes, Beatrice gave an exaggerated smile to Charlotte, who in return gave a wide smile back to her dad's cousin.

The young royals were led at the service by the Queen to pay a final tribute to her beloved husband Prince Philip, despite concerns she wouldn't be able to attend for health reasons.

Dressed in a dark green coat, the Queen used a walking stick as she took her seat in the front row of the packed abbey, next to Prince Charles and Camilla.

The Queen only made the final decision to attend that morning and special arrangements were put in place for her comfort.
