QuoteThey've just returned home from their royal tour of Canada, but Prince William and Kate already have another important date in the diary.

This time the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge won't be travelling as far, and they won't be taking their scene-stealing children Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

The couple will visit Manchester on Friday 14 October, Kensington Palace has confirmed.

Great to see that the couple are visiting this hospice that was inaugurated 25 years ago by the late PssoW. End of life care is a necessary part of the cycle of life and I'm pleased to see that facilities like this one exist.

QuoteKate pays tribute to Diana on visit to same Manchester hospice opened by Princess of Wales

Wearing a checked Erdem coat, the Duchess of Cambridge paid tribute to Princess Diana who wore a similar jacket when she opened hospice Francis House in Didsbury in 1991.

In a subtle nod to the history of the day, Kate even wore a similar pair of earrings featuring a gold disc and pearl design.

The hospice in Didsbury, south Manchester, was opened in 1991 by Diana, Princess of Wales, and is this year celebrating its 25th anniversary.

As well she should, she owes her husband, engagement ring and revived interest in the RF to Diana.
