Prince Harry and Meghan Markle wore poppies as they paid tribute to US veterans in San Diego.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited the United States Navy SEALs in San Diego on Wednesday to cut a ribbon on a new fitness centre for veterans.
The couple inaugurated the "West Coast warrior fitness programme facility", ahead of Remembrance Day on November 11 - known as Veterans Day in the US.
Earlier in the day, the duchess wore a Carolina Herrera cardigan embroidered with poppies.
This is the symbol of remembrance in the UK for all those who lost their lives on the battlefield from World War One to the present day.
The couple were meeting veterans and servicemen and women at Camp Pendleton.
For her outing in San Diego, Meghan wore an all black look which was appropriate for Remembrance Day.
She wore a Giorgio Armani blazer and trousers, in addition to her red poppy.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry looked smart in a suit and a white unbuttoned shirt.
This is not the first time the Sussexes have worn poppies since stepping down from their position as working royals.
Earlier this week, the Duke of Sussex appeared in a pre-recorded video during Stand Up for Heroes.
Harry wore a red poppy as he made jokes about being a ginger during the surprise cameo.
