The East Anglian Air Ambulance has announced The Duke of Cambridge is to join the charity as a helicopter pilot from spring 2015.

Andrew Egerton Smith, chairman of EAAA, said 'Having The Duke of Cambridge as one of our pilots is marvellous news as he brings much experience to the charity after his successful career as a search and rescue pilot. We have an outstanding track record of attending people in the hour of need which is recognised and generously supported by our local communities'.
