Catherine, Princess of Wales, has made her most prominent return to royal engagements since having treatment for cancer, hosting an annual Christmas carol service at London's Westminster Abbey on Friday.

Kate has only made a handful of public appearances after having major abdominal surgery in January, and then undergoing a course of preventative chemotherapy when subsequent tests revealed the presence of cancer.

This year’s service was about the importance of love and empathy, and how much we need each other, especially in the most difficult time of our lives.

Joining Kate and other members of the royal family at the Westminster Abbey “Together At Christmas” service were 1,600 people who have supported others in their communities.

The event, which will be broadcast on Britain’s ITV on Christmas Eve, also features performances by singers Paloma Faith, Olivia Dean and Gregory Porter.
