The Prince and Princess of Wales have honoured the country’s servicemen and women as they commemorated Armed Forces Day.
In a video taken two weeks ago during a royal visit to RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire, Kate was seen alongside her eldest son Prince George as they met pilots and engineers.
The clip, which was shared to the Prince and Princess of Wales’s Instagram, showed the two examining planes belonging to the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight at the military air base.
The fleet is usually used for aerial displays, and is comprised of an Avro Lancaster heavy bomber and two fighters – a Supermarine Spitfire and a Hawker Hurricane.
The Princess of Wales, who has been a Royal Honorary Air Commodore of RAF Coningsby since August 2023, was also seen engaged in conversation with RAF pilots and engineers during the visit.
A post on the Waleses’ social media account read: “Honouring Service and Sacrifice.
“Learning about the extraordinary history of these aircraft and meeting the pilots and engineers who keep their legacy alive.
“A powerful reminder of the courage, skill and dedication of those who serve, past and present.
“Thank you to all those who have served and continue to serve.”
Armed Forces Day is a special day to thank and celebrate the armed forces – extending to serving personnel, veterans and cadets – and to honour those who make up the military community.
