 Ten other people, including eight children, were injured in the attack.

The princess told the first responders: "For you to witness that, you need support yourselves."  She added: "I can't underestimate how grateful they all are for the support you provided on the day. On behalf of them, thank you.  You're all heroes. Please make sure you look after yourselves, please take your time, don't rush back to work."

 She was also asked about the three families: "They're OK. They're managing it differently. All the families are so different."

On September 9, the Princess of Wales announced she had completed her chemotherapy treatments.  She won't be declared cancer-free until she remains in remission for about five years.
