The 34-year-old was all smiles as he gave his grandparents a special tour of the facilities and one of the charity's H145 helicopters.

The Duke of Cambridge started flying missions for the charity a year ago after completing his training.

He had only just landed following a trip to Norfolk for a medical emergency just 20 minutes before the Royals were due to arrive.
