Prince William took a day off from his flying lessons to attend a
memorial service for the father of his former nanny Tiggy Legge-
Bourke.

Old Etonian landowner William Legge-Bourke, 69, whose widow Shan is a
lady in waiting to Princess Anne, died from a suspected heart attack.

The prince joined other mourners - including his cousin Zara
Phillips - in a marquee at the Legge-Bourke family's 6,000-acre
Glanusk estate near Crickhowell, in South Wales, where he and Prince
Harry often played as children.

It was Tiggy who helped William and his brother adjust to life after
the death of their mother, Princess Diana.
Both boys were at Tiggy's wedding to former Guards officer Charles
Pettifer in 1999.
