The Countess of Wessex cycled from the Palace of Holyroodhouse, Edinburgh to Buckingham Palace, London in support of The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award in its 60th year. The Countess, who is a long term supporter of the DofE, cycled the 445 miles from Edinburgh to London over seven days. The Countess undertook the ride as her ‘Diamond Challenge’ – a special initiative marking the 60th anniversary of the DofE.
She was greeted by her family, Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, Lady Louise Windsor and James, Viscount Severn, as she arrived at Buckingham Palace, the completion of the challenge.
