The Duchess of Cambridge has chosen to support Children's Hospice Week in her first-ever filmed address.

The Duchess, who is patron of East Anglia's Children's Hospices, talks about her experiences with the charity and encourages support for the awareness week which concludes today.

“There are 49 children’s hospice services across the UK, all providing similar invaluable and life-enhancing care to thousands of families," she says.

“Children’s Hospice Week is a time to recognise, celebrate and support the inspirational work of those hospices, and those who provide palliative care to these children and families. Children’s hospices provide lifelines to families at a time of unimaginable pain. The support they give is vital."
