From when William was a baby:

“After a fall at Buckingham Palace, the prince cried out for ‘Gary, Gary.’ A guest who went to help asked who Gary was, assuming it must be a member of the royal household. ‘I’m Gary,’ responded Elizabeth. ‘He hasn’t learned to say Granny yet.’”

On Wednesday 6th July Sgt Martha Ashcroft carried out her first duty as Lord Lieutenant Cadet of Dyfed. She was very honoured to meet with HRH Prince Charles at the National Botanical Gardens of Wales.

The Squadron is very proud of Sgt Ashcroft. #rafac #atc #no3welshwing

Today saw 4 of our cadets and a member of staff have an early start and join several other Sqns across the Wing to support Swansea Half Marathon. I was so proud of all the Cadets, you were exemplary and I’m sure all the runners appreciated our cheering, singing and encouragement.
