Crown Princess Mary has shed a tear at an event to honour the Danish Military in Copenhagen.

The event is attended by many members of Denmark's armed forces and is held to commemorate countrymen and women who have lost their lives fighting for the country.

The powerful event seemed to have an impact on both Mary and Fred, who looked extremely solemn during the ceremony.

The princess even appeared to wipe away a tear on multiple occasions, both during the church service and the ceremony outside to raise the flag.

The couple also laid a wreath during the event to commemorate their country's deployed armed forces after the flag was raised.

Whilst Fred wore his military uniform, Mary looked stunning as usual in a two piece ensemble.

The brunette wore a patterned pencil skirt with a belted jacket, nude heels and a matching clutch.

She finished the outfit with a nude pillbox hat by Susanne Juul, one of her favourites that she has worn on multiple other occasions.

Mary, who looked almost like a 1940s pin-up in her classic outfit, smiled as she arrived at the event before getting emotional later. 

She chatted with military personnel at the event, including the Danish Chief of Defence, General Peter Bartram, who was dressed in traditional camouflage fatigues. 

Mary has been busy lately, only just returning from a trip to Greenland, and prior to that, the Rio Olympics.
