Speaking of his experience, Kate's nominee Jon Sayer told the Mirror: 'It was an unbelievable honour - a day I won’t forget for a long time.
'I got to meet Kate afterwards and we spoke at great length about what we do with our Scouts. She does exactly the same activities on a weekly basis as we do. She said she was loving it.
'We spoke about the flame and I said "thank you for nominating me" and she said "I didn’t put you here, you put yourself here".'
Earlier in the day, Prince William, Kate Middleton and Prince Harry launched a sports project at Bacon's College in Rotherhithe, with Kate arriving in a £35 Hobbs dress.
