The Prince of Wales paid a special visit to RAF Northolt on Tuesday to mark the end of the 'Up Against Time' fundraising appeal and to celebrate the launch of their new helicopters.
In his role as Patron of London's Air Ambulance Charity, Prince William, 42, reunited with former England captain, David Beckham, before joining pilots and medical crew.
You can see some of their meeting in video below. Over on The HELLO Royal Club!, where HELLO!'s biggest royal fans congregate, you can see the full video of William and Becks reuniting.

A warm welcome
Upon arrival, the duo appeared in high spirits as they shared a laugh. For the special occasion, David and William both donned smart suits, with William also rocking a bearded look.
William had asked David to be part of the Omaze campaign for the appeal which helped raise £4 million for the charity's cause.
The 'Up Against Time' fundraising appeal was launched in 2021 after it became clear that within a matter of years, the London's Air Ambulance Charity's MD902 helicopters would be out of service.

A celebration
The appeal raised a total of £16 million which enabled the purchase of two new H135 helicopters.
William, who worked as an air ambulance pilot for the East Anglian Air Ambulance between March 2015 and July 2017, shared snippets on X (formerly Twitter), alongside the caption: "Celebrating the launch of @LDNairamb new helicopters with David Beckham!"

Getting stuck in
During their visit, William sat in the pilot's seat, before later adding his signature to one of the helicopters.

David's involvement
Back in June, Inter Miami CF co-owner David shared a post expressing his support for the charity. "As a proud Londoner I know how vital London's Air Ambulance Charity is. When a patient is critically injured in the capital they don't have time to get to hospital," he shared.
The sports star, who is an LAAC ambassador, continued: "But London's Air Ambulance can deliver expert medics to perform emergency surgery anywhere in the city within minutes. Now they need our support to reach their target to replace their two helicopters and make sure they can keep flying to save lives across London.
"I hope that people respond to this campaign so that everyone in our city knows that London's Air Ambulance will be there if they need them."
6/7
Teamwork
This isn't the first time the pair have joined forces. Last year, the former Midfielder joined the Prince and Princess of Wales at the Earthshot Awards in Boston, while in 2020, David made a brief appearance in a video for William's charity, Heads Up.
Meanwhile, in 2012, David and his fashion designer wife Victoria were among guests at William and Kate's fairytale wedding.

Visit to The Royal London Hospital
Later on, William is set to visit The Royal London Hospital where he'll meet former patients of London's Air Ambulance to discuss their experiences and the vital importance of services such as London's Air Ambulance Charity.
He will then meet with donors and supporters of the 'Up Against Time' fundraising appeal in order to thank them for their efforts.
