Today the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge returned to Anglesey, their former home, to attend the Search and Rescue Force Disbandment Parade at RAF Valley.
When the couple lived in Anglesey, Prince William served as Flight Lieutenant Wales as an operational search and reduce pilot flying the Sea King helicopter.
Today marked the end of the RAF's service of search and rescue in the UK. Following the parade, the Duke and Duchess were able to meet with current and retired search and rescue personnel.
The Duchess chose to repeat her LK Bennett Ami Coat.
Catherine has worn the coat on three previous occasions, however this was the first time she styled the coat with chocolate brown, in the past she has chosen black or red accessories.
In 2011 she wore for a visit to the UNICEF HQ in Copenhagen. In 2012 she wore it for a Welsh Rugby Union game in Cardiff and in 2013 she wore the coat for a Remembrance Sunday poppy event in London.
The Duchess also wore her Lock & Co. Betty Boop Hat that we have seen on many previous occasions.
She accessorised with her Mappin & Webb Empress Earrings.
She also carried her Emmy Natasha Clutch, wore brown gloves and a new pair of brown shoes.
It was a very lovely first joint engagement of the year, that both the Duke and Duchess seemed to enjoy. No doubt their visit brought back some lovely memories.

Duchess is Guest Editor for The Huffington Post..
Today the Duchess of Cambridge was the guest editor for The Huffington Post.
Kensington Palace shared a behind-the-scenes photo from the newsroom, which is actually Apartment 8 - formerly one of the late Princess Diana's apartment.
The aim of today was to highlight children's mental health issues. In order to do this the Duchess brought together professionals from her patronages and other organisations to share their knowledge.
The Duchess was joined by Huffington Posts's UK editor-in-chief Stephen Hull and his team.
Another aim of today was to launch a new initiative - Young Minds Matter. It is an initiative designed to help people talk more with children about mental and emotional health.
The Duchess also met with children from her patronages to get their opinions to go into the article.
The article that the Duchess helped to edit...
...then it was then published online.
Today the Duchess chose a very work-chic outfit for the occasion. She chose the Reiss Vinnie High-Neck Shirt which has sold out online completely but was available for £120.
She teamed this with a new skirt by Dolce & Gabbana. The Boucle Wool-Blend Skirt was available for £267 as it currently has 40% off at My Theresa.
The Duchess also wore her Stuart Weitzman Power pumps.
She also wore her favourite Annoushka Pearl Drop Earrings.
She also wore her Cartier Ballon Bleu Watch.
It was a very different type of engagement for the Duchess today but it was fantastic to see her working with the media to promote important issues.
In other new today, it has been officially announced that Kate is now patron of The Anna Freud Centre. It is not a surprise as the Duchess had been showing a lot of interest in the organisation recently.

Duchess's First Engagement of 2016..
The Duchess attended her first official engagement of the year today.
She marked her return to engagements by attending a service at St Clement Danes Church to mark the 75th anniversary of the RAF Air Cadets.
The Duke of Edinburgh passed his patronage of the RAF Air Cadets to Kate in December. This is her first engagement had patron.
Also in attendance today was Carol Vorderman, whose two children both attended the Air Cadets. She was dressed in her full uniform.
Today, the Duchess chose to wear her Alexander McQueen coat, that she has worn on two previous occasions. Notably both occasions were of a similar theme. The first was back in 2014 when she debuted it in Blenheim, where the couple laid a wreath at Blenheim War Memorial and visited Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre. The second occasion was also in 2014 for the 70th anniversary of D-Day in Normandy.
Kate wore hat by Lock & Co that she wore for Richard Meade's memorial last year. This time we got a better view of the back of the hat.
The Duchess also wore a new pair of shoes today. They have been identified at the Rupert Sanderson Malory Heels which are available for £425.
The Duchess carried her navy gloves and her Russell & Bromley Muse Clutch too.
The Duchess wore a pair of unidentified drop earrings, but the most notable piece of jewellery that the Duchess wore today was The Dacre Brooch. The brooch was once awarded to the best all-round female cadet each year but since the tradition ended last year the Air Cadets presented the pin to the Duchess. A spokesperson for Buckingham Palace says that the cadets presented the brooch to the Duchess following her appointment as Honorary Air Commandant of the organisation.
It was a lovely look for the Duchess and it is one of my favourite coats that the Duchess has worn.

Duke and Duchess Attend Sunday Service..
Today the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge joined The Queen and the Duke of Edingburgh, as well as the Middleton's, for a service at St Mary Magdalene's Church to mark the 100th anniversary of the First World War Gallipoli campaign.
Carole and Michael Middleton, Pippa Middleton and James Middleton were all present at the service and it is thought they are currently staying with the Cambridge's at Anmer Hall, given that it was Kate's birthday yesterday.
The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh were both present.
The Queen laid a wreath in memory of those who lost their lives.

Today's event gave us a better look at the outfit that Kate wore for last Sunday's service. The pictures last week were not very clear, however we can see the whole ensemble in this weeks.
The Duchess re-wore her outfit from last Sunday. It is the Michael Kors Virgin Wool Plaid Blazer which retailed for £1,090 and the Michael Kors Guncheck Wool Trumpet Skirt which retailed for £900.
The outfit is from the AW15 collection.
The Duchess teamed the jacket and skirt set with a black turtle neck jumper.
The Duchess also wore her Lock & Co. Fairytale Hat, which we have seen on a number of occasions.
She also wore her Aquatalia Rhumba Boots.
Kate finished off the outfit with her Kiki McDonough .
The Duchess wore her hair in an up-do this week which I thought looked lovely.
It is a lovely winter outfit that is very reminiscent of Kate's pre-wedding outfits.

Prince George's 1st Day at Nursery
Today was Prince George's first day at nursery. He has officially started at Montessori Nursery in Norfolk. Both the Duke and Duchess dropped Prince George off. It is believed that he only spent a couple of hours there but that "it all went fine" according to Kensington Palace.
To mark this milestone Kensington Palace have released two new photos of Prince George arriving at nursery this morning. The photographs were taken by the Duchess of Cambridge.
They show Prince George walking past the colourful muriel.
No doubt he had a lovely time there and made lots of new friends.
Prince George's quilted jacket has been identified as being from John Lewis however it has sold out.
He also carried a blue rucksack which hasn't been identified.
It was a lovely treat to see some more photographs of Prince George and no doubt there will be many more to come over the next year!
