19 November 2016 

Tori, wearing a simple black dress made sure her fascinator remained in place during this hot and humid day. With her Victoria Cross medal placed on her left upper chest, Tori was a sight to see. She looked over to her left and saw her husband tying his tie dressed top to toe in black. Seeing as they are kickstarting they day with a somber event.

"Are you ready?" Tori asked Henry moving to sit at the edge of their bed. She knows her team are outside ready to move and make their way to the memorial.

"Yeah," Henry looked over himself one last time by the mirror before heading towards the door with Tori and depart from the hotel.

Tori and Henry will attend a Wreath Laying Ceremony at the National War Memorial Memorial site at Veiuto where the Permanent Secretary for Defence and National Security Mr Osea Cawaru will receive them upon arrival. This will take approximately an hour, before they meet with officials and some soldiers before heading back to the hotel for a quick change and head over to their next engagement of the day.

Tori and Henry walked hand in hand to the lobby of the hotel, their team consisting of their protection officers, assistant private secretaries, personal photographer, and communications secretary.

Tori and Henry waved to the people who were waiting outside of their hotel before entering the car and made their way to the memorial, ready for a somber morning.

There were four car in total, the first consist of Tori and Henry, with one of the protection officers at the passenger seat.

The second car contains two of their protection officers and their assistant private secretaries. The third car contains their fourth protection officer, the personal photographer and communications secretary. The fourth and final car is an empty car made for back up incase anything were to happen to the car they were riding on, they would have one in case.

As they make their way to the memorial, they have a police car at the very front, followed by another police car that was incognito and three police motorcycles. Then it was Tori and Henry's car followed by their three cars and an additional of two more cars for the British Ambassador and their representatives that will follow Tori and Henry around. Right at the end was an ambulance for emergencies.

As they make their way into the memorial, they can see a lot of people waiting by the side of the road to catch a glimpse of the two royals.

The car rolled into a stop by the Permanent Secretary for Defence and National Security who was waiting for them to arrive. Tori exit the car by the door that was closest to the Permanent Secretary while waiting for Henry to go around the car and join her.

"Good morning Mr Secretary," Tori greeted while shaking his hand. "How are you doing today?"

"Good morning ma'am," Osea Cawaru replied Tori. "It's a beautiful day today."

"You've met my husband Henry," Tori gestured to Henry who was behind her to greet Osea.

"Yes, we met briefly last night at the dinner," Osea smiled while shaking Henry's head. "It is such an honour to have the both of you here."

"Please, I think the honour is all mine, Mr Cawaru." Tori smiled. "I can't wait to show Henry how amazing Fiji is."

"Please, shall we proceed?" Osea gestured for Tori and Henry to walk first before following them slightly to the side.

Tori walked with Henry by her side, off to their left is the officer assigned by the Fijian Government while on their right side is Osea.

They walked on the red carpet, stopping at the end while horns sounded before continuing their way to where Tori and Henry was going to lay their wreaths.
