The Princess Royal has visited Guernsey to mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Bailiwick.
Anne, who was accompanied on the trip by her husband Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, attended a parade at St Peter Port seafront and gave a reading during a service at Town Church.
The parish church holds the annual Liberation Day service which was attended by veterans, visiting German and French officials, emergency service representatives and members of the public.
Anne met school children during the visit and also viewed the Liberation Trail exhibition.
