October 17 marks one year since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex touched down in the city.
A hug from little Luke for the couple, a visit to a farming family, words of encouragement to the crowd of well-wishers gathered in Victoria Park and time spent with student leaders made up that uncommon day.
Touching on the importance of mental health, Prince Harry's message was for people not to "silently suffer".
