Congratulations to one of the Search and Rescue Community's most famous Pilots - Prince William.

Friday 29 April 2011 London, England: In a lovely ceremony in London, England today, Search and Rescue Pilot Prince William Married Catherine Middleton at Westminster Abbey.

Prince William, Duke of Cambridge KG FRS (born William Arthur Philip Louis on 21 June 1982) is the elder son of Charles, Prince of Wales, and Diana, Princess of Wales. Catherine Elizabeth Mountbatten-Windsor, (usually known as Kate, born Catherine Elizabeth Middleton on 9 January 1982) will now be known as the Duchess of Cambridge. They met in 2001, at The University of St. Andrews.

Prince William was commissioned as a lieutenant in the Blues and Royals regiment of the Household Cavalry—serving with his brother Prince Harry—and, two years later, earned his wings by completing pilot training at Royal Air Force College Cranwell. In 2009, the Prince transferred to the Royal Air Force, was promoted to flight lieutenant and underwent helicopter flying training in order to become a full time pilot with the Search and Rescue Force.

In Autumn 2010, he completed his general and special-to-type helicopter training and he is now at RAF Valley on No. 22 Squadron performing co-pilot duties on the Sea King search and rescue helicopter.
