They’ve always enthusiastically supported the efforts of the military, but today Prince William and Duchess Catherine attended a very special service.
The Duke and Duchess joined thousands of soldiers to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Special Air Service.
And it was a family affair, with Prince George also in attendance for his second official royal engagement.
Catherine and William unveiled a statue at the SAS base honouring those who’ve served.
Duchess Catherine and Prince William, pictured here attending a service for troops who went to Afghanistan, have long been supporters of the military.
The event was reportedly an impressive one, including a Red Arrow display and Spitfire fly-by, which Prince George was apparently very impressed with.

The young parents and their little prince took their time, as they spoke to veterans who served in the original SAS in World War II.
Five thousand troops both past and present attended the lavish ceremony.
Kate is no stranger to supporting the troops. Check out her stunning style when she presented shamrocks to an adorable army dog! Post continues.
Duchess Catherine presented medals to soldiers in Victoria Barracks back in 2011.
Photos were not allowed of the royal party attending the event, nor of the statue, which was called The Pursuit of Excellence.
An attendee of the event, Donna Gunn, took to social media to express her excitement about the event, and meeting little George.
It was little George’s second official royal engagement.
“My children played with George. He’s so handsome and Kate is stunning,” Donna gushed.
“She’s a fantastic down to earth mummy, she plays with him and she’s very hands-on.”
An SAS source revealed: “It was a fantastic occasion. Soldiers were not allowed to take photographs of the Royal party or the statue, which was of two troopers and an Army working dog.”
