Prince William gave a statement about his latest royal engagement, where he will visit The Firefighter’s Charity at Harcombe House in Devon, to meet with representatives from across the emergency services and learn about the support the centre provides to firefighters and their families.
The Duke said: “As a society, we owe our wellbeing, and indeed our lives, to the men and women in our emergency services who work tirelessly to protect us in some of the most difficult circumstances.
"It is only fitting that we should recognise the vital role that they play, and pay tribute to the bravery and dedication of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their communities."
