It was bring your grandparents to work day for the Duke of Cambridge who looked delighted to see them both
The 34-year-old was all smiles as he gave his grandparents a special tour of the facilities and one of the charity’s H145 helicopters.
The Duke of Cambridge started flying missions for the charity a year ago after completing his training.
He had only just landed following a trip to Norfolk for a medical emergency just 20 minutes before the Royals were due to arrive.
During the 40-minute visit, the Queen unveiled a plaque commemorating the new base.
She was then given a bouquet from two-year-old Pepe Casanova who had been helped by the air ambulance service when he was just five months old.
After launching in 2000, EAAA pilots now fly an average of five missions per day from bases in Cambridge and Norwich.
They will attend emergencies across Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire.
