Millions of people turned out for events in central London and at parties in communities across Britain and in around the world to celebrate Queen Elizabeth’s 60-year reign.

Now having passed his military assessments on May 29, the Duke of Cambridge has another reason to celebrate after two-years of training leading up to the military exams.

Tests included searching for a yacht from the air, carrying out a rescue search for stray kayakers and stranded people in the water and extinguishing a fire on a large ship.

The prince was involved in his first rescue mission in October 2010 after a man took ill on an oil rig in Morecambe Bay near Lancaster.
