The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are visiting North Wales - where they used to live after they were first married.

Until 2015, search and rescue operated out of RAF Valley on Anglesey, where the duke worked as an RAF search and rescue pilot between 2010 and 2013.

William and Kate, the proud uncle and aunt of the royal family's latest addition, visited Caernarfon and will travel on to Anglesey during the day-long visit.

First, the royal couple visited the Caernarfon Coastguard Search and Rescue Helicopter Base, meeting with members of the team. These included some former colleagues of Prince William during his time at RAF Valley.

William told his old crew that he does miss his old job, which involved flying rescue missions in all kinds of weather and terrain.

Coastguard helicopter winchman Paul Jones and his wife Gemma, were with their son's, Finlay, 12, and Alex, aged nine, who were much younger the last time Kate and William saw them.

"It's lovely to see him, we worked very closely for three years and then he moved away,'' Paul said.

"It was like he's never been away."

Following the visit to the base, the Duke and Duchess joined crew members in a discussion about mental health challenges that result from working as first responders.
