For the special event, Kate chose one of her go-to designers, London-based L.K. Bennett, wearing the label's gorgeous red Ami coat which features a belted waist with gold buckle detailing.

Her accessories complemented the look perfectly, with the stylish royal opting for a brown Lock & Co. hat, paired with heels, gloves and a clutch bag in matching shades. When it came to her hair and make-up, Kate chose a simple yet stunning look, sweeping her glossy brunette hair back into a sleek ponytail.
William and Kate traveled from London by helicopter to the base in North Wales to attend the Search and Rescue Force Disbandment Parade, to honor the end of more than 75 years of the RAF SAR UK operations. The organization is particularly close to William's heart as it was where he served as a pilot.
