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 the LAS last May, becoming the UK’s first female chief paramedic.
London Ambulance Service is the UK’s largest ambulance service, serving the capital’s millions of residents.
Later, Kensington Palace shared photos of Prince William in Instagram Stories along with the Prince of Wales’ statements.
The palace, on behalf of Prince William, says: “Marking 60 years of the London Ambulance Service.”
Captioning another photo, Prince William said: “Hearing the paramedics and first responders talk about the challenges of their lifesaving work. »
The palace also revealed that Prince William saw the world’s first fully electric ambulance and took part in a training demonstration with specialist paramedics.
Prince William has a strong affiliation with emergency responders, having witnessed first-hand the unique challenges this community faces on a daily basis through his roles as both an air ambulance and an RAF search and rescue pilot.
The future king also became patron of the College of Paramedics earlier this year.
