Airmen and women from RAF Waddington enjoyed a brush with royalty when the Earl of Wessex paid a visit.

He presented awards and honours to 37 station personnel, some of whom have just returned from serving in Afghanistan.

Prince Edward, who is RAF Waddington's Honorary Air Commodore, spent time chatting with award recipients following the presentation.

The seventh in line to the throne wore his RAF uniform during the visit on Tuesday, October 9.

Senior Aircraftsman Luke Shingler, 24, was presented with a campaign medal following a tour in Afghanistan.

"I was incredibly proud to receive my campaign medal and it was a real honour to have it presented to me by His Royal Highness," he said.
