The Prince of Wales has laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Warsaw, leaving a personal note paying tribute to those “who made the ultimate sacrifice”.

Prince William visited the monument, which is dedicated to Polish soldiers who have lost their lives in conflict, in the city’s Pilsudski Square on Thursday morning.

He left a handwritten note on the wreath, which reads: “In memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice”.

The late Queen Elizabeth and Duke of Edinburgh also laid a wreath at the Tomb during a state visit to Poland in 1996.

The occasion marked Prince William’s second day of his surprise visit to the country to personally thank British and Polish soldiers involved in the war in Ukraine as well as see the humanitarian side of the conflict for himself.

He also met with the President of Poland, Andrzej Duda, during which he expressed his thanks to the Polish people for their ongoing support and generosity to their neighbouring Ukrainians.
