I had the pleasure of being on the same scheduled flight as the Duke of Kent from London to Belfast on Wednesday evening, presumably taking him to attend these events.
How interesting it was to observe him and his small entourage board and disembark the plane, and during the flight! And how much I would have loved to sit beside him and ask him some of the things I've always wanted to know about the BRF!
Not much chance of the latter sadly
