PC Keith Palmer was stabbed by a terrorist last week as he was guarding the Palace of Westminster.
On the wreath, Prince William left a message which reads: “For PC Keith Palmer, and all those who have served our community so valiantly, your legacy is our way of life.”
The second-in-line to the throne signed the message off with his signature.
The Duke of Cambridge was at the National Memorial Arboretum to officially open the new Remembrance Centre.
When opening the centre, he was acting in the capacity of Patron of the National Memorial Arboretum Appeal.
Forming part of The Royal British Legion, the National Memorial Arboretum has fostered pride in the UK year round since 1997 when it became the nation's centre of Remembrance. The 'living and lasting memorial' stands proudly as a place to honour the fallen and recognise the service and sacrifice of every man and woman who devotes their lives to the defence of UK freedom.
