    Prince William and Catherine Duchess of Cambridge Visit the Offices of Child Bereavement UK, Saunderton, Buckinghamshire, Britain - 19 Mar 2013
    The Duchess of Cambridge seemed in fine spirits today as she and husband Prince William visited a charity close to their hearts in Buckinghamshire. Catherine offered the waiting crowds a wave and a beaming smile as the royal couple paid a visit to the offices of Child Bereavement UK. A radiant Kate opted for a loose fitting cream coat that masked any sign of a baby bump, which she teamed with black gloves and matching clutch. During their tour William and Kate meet with staff and supporters, as well as parents and children who have lost a loved one. William has been patron of the charity, which trains around 5,000 people in bereavement counselling and care every year, since 2009. The organisation supports families when a baby or child dies or is dying, and helps youngsters come to terms with bereavement.

    The Scene at the Top of Beachy Head

    GRIEVING PARENTS LEAP TO DEATH WITH BODY OF SON

    A grieving couple have committed suicide following the death their son.

    Neil Puttick, 34, and his wife Kazumi, 44, leapt to their deaths at Beachy Head in Eastbourne, while carrying the body of their five-year-old son Sam.

    The desperate act came just hours after the youngster, who had been paralysed from the neck down in a car crash as a baby, died from meningitis.

    The three bodies were found by coastguards around 400ft down the cliffside.

    Sam's body was found in a rucksack near to his parents. A second rucksack was found to contain children's toys.

    Chief Inspector Dick Coats of Sussex Police said officers were not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths.

    Sam was left paralysed when he was 16 months old after his baby chair was thrown out of a car during a crash.

    Charity worker Neil and translator Kazumi - originally from Japan - gave up their jobs in order to care for their son.

    They went on to raise around GBP 30,000 in order to adapt their home - a cottage in Brokerswood, Wiltshire.

    However, tragedy struck when Sam contracted viral meningitis. After being told by doctors that there was no way to save him the Puttick's took him home to die, which he did on Friday (29 May).

    Less than 48 hours later, on Sunday (31 May), Neil and Kazumi drove to Beachy Head with the body of their son as part of a suicide pact.

    The cliffs at Beachy Head reach up to about 600ft (180m) high and are a suicide black spot.

    According to Coastguard Stuart McNab, who recovered the three bodies, an average of 20 people jump from the cliffs every year.

    The Beachy Head Chaplaincy Team was set up in 2004 to patrol the area in an attempt to prevent suicides.

    GRIEVING PARENTS LEAP TO DEATH WITH BODY OF SON

    A grieving couple have committed suicide following the death their son.

    Neil Puttick, 34, and his wife Kazumi, 44, leapt to their deaths at Beachy Head in Eastbourne, while carrying the body of their five-year-old son Sam.

    The desperate act came just hours after the youngster, who had been paralysed from the neck down in a car crash as a baby, died from meningitis.

    The three bodies were found by coastguards around 400ft down the cliffside.

    Sam's body was found in a rucksack near to his parents. A second rucksack was found to contain children's toys.

    Chief Inspector Dick Coats of Sussex Police said officers were not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths.

    Sam was left paralysed when he was 16 months old after his baby chair was thrown out of a car during a crash.

    Charity worker Neil and translator Kazumi - originally from Japan - gave up their jobs in order to care for their son.

    They went on to raise around GBP 30,000 in order to adapt their home - a cottage in Brokerswood, Wiltshire.

    However, tragedy struck when Sam contracted viral meningitis. After being told by doctors that there was no way to save him the Puttick's took him home to die, which he did on Friday (29 May).

    Less than 48 hours later, on Sunday (31 May), Neil and Kazumi drove to Beachy Head with the body of their son as part of a suicide pact.

    The cliffs at Beachy Head reach up to about 600ft (180m) high and are a suicide black spot.

    According to Coastguard Stuart McNab, who recovered the three bodies, an average of 20 people jump from the cliffs every year.

    The Beachy Head Chaplaincy Team was set up in 2004 to patrol the area in an attempt to prevent suicides.
