Prince William and Duchess Catherine

Britain's Duke and Duchess of Cambridge took part in the Mexican Wave as they watched the Paralympics yesterday (30.08.12).

The royal couple were seen showing their support for the athletes at the London Velodrome and they joined in with the crowd for the celebrations as they watched Sarah Storey cycle to victory and break a world record.

Duchess Catherine - known as Kate Middleton before she married - was wearing a red polo top and laughing with her husband as they enjoyed the first day of action from the Paralympics.

They had attended the opening ceremony the night before (19.08.12) along with Queen Elizabeth which saw Stephen Hawkins open the night's proceedings.

The loved-up couple made regular appearances at the recent Olympics and the duchess is also set to attend the swimming, athletics and goalball matches.

Soon after the Paralympics, William and Catherine will be embarking on a tour of the Far East for the queen's Diamond Jubilee which will see them travel to Borneo, Malaysia and Singapore.

The trip will see Catherine give her first speech outside of the UK and she will talk at a Kuala Lumpur hospice on September 13.
