Prince William has thanked “beautiful” Anglesey as he begins the process of saying farewell to north Wales.

His visit to the Anglesey Show is understood to be one of the Duke of Cambridge’s last engagements before he concludes his deployment as a search and rescue pilot at RAF Valley.

Speaking in Welsh, he told crowds: “Thank you people of Anglesey. It is a great pleasure to be here. I am so proud to have lived on Anglesey, the Mother of Wales.”

He added: “Catherine is sorry that she cannot be here today at the County Show, but she and George would have loved to have been here. He’s pretty loud but of course very good-looking!”

The Duke’s three-year tour at RAF Valley finishes at the end of September.
