The Prince said: "Doing the walk yesterday was challenging.
It brought back a few memories," Sky News footage showed. "It's one of those moments when you think to yourself: I've prepared myself for this, but I'm not that prepared. "Jane Wells, 54, who had come to lay roses at the gates, said: “The Prince said how difficult it was yesterday and how it reminded him of his mum’s funeral.
“I said to him that his mum would be really proud of him and he said that was really nice to say so. ”One onlooker told the Prince she was close to tears, as many in the crowd were, to which he replied: “Don’t cry now – you’ll start me. ”Much of the crowd had come with no idea they were about to see the royal couple; they were simply coming to pay their respects.
