London’s Air Ambulance Charity delivers an advanced trauma team to critically injured people in the British capital every day of the year.

Since its inception in 1989, London’s Air Ambulance has provided rapid response and cutting-edge medical care, bringing the hospital emergency department to the scene of an incident.

In March 2020, the Duke became Patron of London’s Air Ambulance Charity after supporting their 30th Anniversary Campaign ‘Thirty Years Saving Lives’.

The campaign was launched to highlight the charity’s vital work in delivering life-saving treatment across London, and encourage support for the development of new facilities.

Earlier today, the Duke joined the Duchess of Cambridge at the Westminster Abbey to commemorate Anzac Day.

The traditional church service in the abbey featured an address by the Dean of Westminster, readings from the New Zealand and Australian high commissioners, prayers read by children of each country, and a Maori waiata performed by London-based Ngati Ranana London Maori Club.

Before visiting the service, William attended a wreath laying ceremony at the Cenotaph in Whitehall on behalf of the Queen. 

It comes after the the Duke of Gloucester, 77, attended the Dawn Service at the New Zealand Memorial at Hyde Park, which included readings and the Last Post sounded by a bugler.

Anzac Day – April 25 – marks the anniversary of the start of the First World War Gallipoli landings, and is a national day of remembrance for Australia and New Zealand.

Anzac Day has been commemorated in London since the first anniversary of the Anzac landings when King George V attended a service at Westminster Abbey.

Since then, the services have become an important moment for thousands of expatriates and visiting New Zealanders and Australians.

The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall have remembered this ‘gallant comradeship’ in a message released ahead of Anzac Day.

The heir to the throne said in a statement: ‘On this Anzac Day, my wife and I are thinking of all the courageous troops who endured so much in 1915 on the beaches and in the rugged hills of the Gallipoli Peninsula.

‘As we pause to reflect on the sacrifice of the Armed Services personnel of Australia and New Zealand in two World Wars, and in other conflicts and peacekeeping operations, our thoughts will also be with those communities around the world who are being torn apart by violence and conflict, and those who are fighting for freedom in the face of oppression.

‘In 1916, one year after the Gallipoli landings, my great-grandfather, King George V, wrote of the first Anzacs: ‘They gave their lives for a supreme cause in gallant comradeship’.

‘One hundred and six years later, gallant comradeship remains a defining mark of the uniformed men and women of New Zealand and Australia.’
