The Duchess of Cambridge arrived in Malaysia where she will give her first speech on foreign soil on a issue close to her heart - the hospice movement.

Kate will address staff and patients from an institution based in the capital Kuala Lumpur after touring the facilities with William and meeting those being looked after.

The royal couple flew on a scheduled Malaysia Airlines flight from Singapore - the first leg of their Diamond Jubilee tour celebrating the Queen's 60-year reign.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge lay a wreath at the Kranji Commonwealth war cemetery

Before leaving Singapore the Duke and Duchess made a moving visit to a Commonwealth war graves cemetery and laid a wreath on behalf of the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh at the Kranji Memorial, situated on a tranquil sun-bathed hill high above the bustling city.

Kate, dressed in a bespoke duck egg blue dress with a lace panel by Jenny Packham, carried a parasol as she and William walked through the rows of white graves, deep in thought.

The Duke and Duchess were met by British High Commissioner to Malaysia Simon Featherstone and escorted to a VIP lounge within Kuala Lumpur International Airport for an informal meeting with Malaysian dignitaries that last around half an hour.

William and Kate were introduced to deputy foreign minister Kohilan Pillay Appu other officials and the High Commissioner's wife Gail Featherstone.

The Duke sat down on a plush seat and chatted with the politician who was seated on his right and the royal was soon joined by his wife who chatted with Mrs Featherstone sat close by.

Kate's speech in Malaysia will be only her second public address and reflects her strong interest in the work of hospices.

She is royal patron of East Anglia's Children's Hospices and gave her inaugural speech to volunteers and staff at the organisation's Ipswich hospice earlier this year.

The Duke and Duchess's visit to the Commonwealth war graves cemetery was their last engagement in Singapore and they arrived to the sound of the Gurkha Contingent Pipers.

They were handed a beautiful wreath of red roses, white lilies and orchids with a message from William's grandmother, which read: "In Memory Of The Glorious Dead Elizabeth R and Philip."

They stepped forward and laid it upon the Singapore Memorial bearing the names of more than 24,000 Commonwealth casualties from the Second World War, before moving back and bowing their heads in tribute.

The couple then stood proudly as the Last Post was played by a lone bugler followed by a minute's silence.

Afterwards they were directed to the graves of the men from Z Special Unit, some of the most important in the cemetery which has 4,461 graves in all.

The unit was captured during a heroic attempt to plant mines on the Japanese fleet in Singapore harbour, creeping up on the ships by canoe.

Tragically they were executed by their brutal captors just weeks before the end of the war on July 7 1945.

Nine of the men whose graves William and Kate saw were Australian while one, Major RM Ingleton, who was just 26 when he was killed, was a Royal Marine.

Group Captain Clive Coombes, the British defence adviser in Singapore, said William was particularly keen to see Z Unit's graves and was well briefed on their heroics.

He said: "Prince William was well aware of the force's heroics and was keen to see their resting place. He was very well briefed."
