In the message released ahead of Friday's event, the Princess wrote that at times when life can "feel fragmented or uncertain", the season "invites us to remember the power of reaching out to one another with generosity of heart, understanding and hope". She went on to thank and celebrate those who are joining her - Prince William and other members of the royal family - for displaying selflessness in their communities. The Princess of Wales' Together at Christmas service closes out the year when she announced she was in remission from cancer. A congregation of 1600 guests will join her for the service at Westminster Abbey on 5 December.
