The 71-year-old royal sported a pale grey button-down coat for the occasion, with a knee-length checkered charcoal skirt and knee-length black leather boots. The Princess Royal added a subtle dash of colour to the look, accessorising with a patterned silk scarf, regal pearl earrings and beautiful gold brooch.

The Princess was given a tour of the premises and met with hospital workers to discuss the impact of the new helipad. Since May 2021, the new device has been used over 70 times, saving a large sum of patient's lives. It is the first helipad to be implemented in the hospital in Northwest England and is already making a significant difference.
