Although it was expected that only the Queen's children would be present, Zara and Mike brought along their young daughters Mia and Lena, and Peter Phillips also brought along his two young daughters, Savannah and Isla. The young girls were dressed in black, including their hairbands. Zara's son Lucas, remained at home, and it is likely because of his young age, while the elder daughters might understand the proceedings a bit more.
