Farewell to the Prince

One of the things that has brightened up life in North Wales in recent years, and certainly created visitor interest, has been the tour of duty that Prince William has made at RAF Valley on Anglesey. Along with his wife Katherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, he has enjoyed working in a place where he has not been treated as a celebrity. They have been left to live an ordinary life, to walk the beaches and visit the local sights and shops. You may have noticed the news that Prince William is now retiring from his role as a helicopter rescue pilot based at RAF Valley on Anglesey - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-24065166

I'm sure everyone in North Wales will wish the Prince and his family all the best as they move into a new phase of their lives. They have certainly done a lot to raise the profile of Anglesey in the media. Lets hope we can continue to take advantage of this higher profile to keep up this increased level of tourism.
