Like lots and lots of people around the World, we at Coed y Berclas would like to send our very best wishes to Prince William and Kate Middleton on the occassion of their engagement. The date for the Royal Wedding has been announced today: it will take place at Westminster Abbey on Friday 29th April 2011.
What makes it most exciting for us, here on the Isle of Anglesey, is that Prince William and Kate are already living here and will be spending the first two years of their marriage on Anglesey where Prince William is serving with the Royal Air force, based at RAF Valley in the North West of our lovely Island, flying search and rescue helicopters.
Just two days after announcing his engagement to Kate, the Prince piloted the rescue helicopter through fog to Mount Snowdon, Wales’ highest mountain, to rescue a walker who had suffered a heart attack. The man was astonished to be told by the winchman, as they landed at Ysbyty Gwynedd (Hospital), who had been the pilot involved in his rescue.
Congratulations to Prince William and Kate Middleton: you look so happy together, may you have a long and happy marriage.
Dorothy
