The Duke of Cambridge, FA President, and the Duchess of Cambridge visited Leicester today to pay tribute to those who were tragically killed in the helicopter crash outside Leicester City's stadium.
Leicester City Football Club (LCFC) chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha and four others died when the aircraft came down on 27 October. Kate and William, who personally knew Mr Srivaddhanaprabha, visited the crash site, meet players and heard about the charities supported by LCFC.
Later, the royal couple headed to the University of Leicester to hear about some of the educational programmes the club has helped to support, including a £1m donation by Mr Srivaddhanaprabha in May to help fund medical research and training.
Today we got a better look at the grey tweed Catherine Walker coat Kate first wore in August for the Balmoral church service with the Queen. It is a bespoke design featuring a Peter Pan collar with a black piped trim and matching buttons.
Here's a closer look from a different angle.
The Duchess teamed it with a new black croc Aspinal of London Midi Mayfair Bag (US$725), a style she also own in a Lilac colourway.
On Kate's feet were her trusty Tod's Black Suede Block Heel Pumps.
She accessorized with her Cassandra Goad Cavolfiore Pearl Stud Earrings.
Kate topped off the ensemble with the black velvet bow she first donned last week for a visit to the University College London. It is believed to be the J.Crew black velvet hair tie (US$22.50).

The Duchess of Cambridge visited the Developmental Risk and Resilience Unit at the University College London (UCL) today to see the groundbreaking research neuroscientists are conducting into how environment and biology interact to shape the way in which children develop both socially and emotionally.
Earlier this year, the Duchess set up a steering group made up of practitioners and academics from a range of disciplines, including neuroscience, mental health, nursing, perinatal care and education to
support Early Intervention for young children and families.
Kate wore a familiar look for the visit, sporting her burgundy Paula Ka skirt suit.

To mark Anti Bullying Week, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited the BBC headquarters in London today to see the work the national broadcaster is doing as a key member of Prince William's Taskforce on the Prevention of Cyberbullying.
Kate was in a familiar frock.
She wore a teal Emilia Wickstead pleated coatdress which she debuted in New Zealand during the 2014 royal tour, and wore again in December 2015 for a visit to an Action on Addiction Centre.
You may recall, the Duchess also own this style in pink which she first wore in 2012.

Kate was pictured arriving for the birthday bash wearing a pink one-shoulder dress with floral applique, and her exquisite tear drop earrings featuring a large pink gem stone surrounded by diamonds and set in gold. We first got a glimpse of them at the 100 Women in Hedge Funds Gala in 2011, and Kate wore them again for the 2017 BAFTAs. Their provenance remains unknown.
This was a private event, so unfortunately we do not expect to see more photos.
