Prince William, Prince of Wales, visited the London Ambulance Service at its headquarters in Waterloo to mark 60 years of service.
The future king was greeted by Pauline Cranmer, who was appointed chief paramedic of LAS last May, becoming the UK’s first female chief paramedic.
The London Ambulance Service is the largest ambulance service in the UK, serving millions of residents of the capital.
Kensington Palace later shared photos of Prince William on Instagram stories with the Prince of Wales’ statements.
The palace, on behalf of Prince William, says: “Commemorating 60 years of the London Ambulance Service.”
Captioning another photo, Prince William says: “Hearing from paramedics and emergency staff about the challenges of their job to save lives.”
The Palace also revealed that Prince William saw the world’s first purpose-built all-electric ambulance and took part in a training demonstration with specialist paramedics.
Prince William has a strong affiliation with the emergency services, having witnessed first-hand the unique challenges this community faces on a daily basis through his roles as an air ambulance and RAF search and rescue pilot.
The future king also became patron of the College of Paramedics earlier this year.
