The Duke of Cambridge has been named patron of London's Air Ambulance, after supporting its 30th anniversary campaign last year, during which he flew with the crew and met staff and patients from the service.

Jonathan Jenkins, CEO of London’s Air Ambulance Charity, said 'The Duke truly understands our work and knows that every second counts in an emergency. We know that with his help as well as the continued support of the public, our crews can reach those who need them most - serving the people of London 24 hours a day, every day of the year'.
