The Duchess was in Wiltshire to meet a very special veteran, ahead of the 80th anniversary of VJ Day. Sophie was visiting 105-year-old former Royal Marine, James 'Jim' Wren at his care home in Salisbury.

'Mr Wren survived the sinking of HMS Repulse in 1941 and was later a Prisoner of War for three and a half years, having been captured whilst escaping from Singapore in February 1942,' explained the Royal Family in an official post, sharing photographs from the day.

Other photos from the day reveal The Duchess sharing an emotional moment with Mr Wren, and a portrait of the veteran which hangs in the care home, and was commissioned by The King.
