The Duchess of Cambridge has made her first public appearance since the birth of Prince George as she joined husband William at the start of an ultra marathon on Anglesey

The presence of the duchess at the Ring O' Fire event was a surprise and she joined the Duke of Cambridge who officially started the three-day, 135-mile (220km) coastal run

The royal couple spent just under an hour at the event greeting volunteers, runners and local residents
