Prince William is back at work after the royal weddingA RETIRED judge who was the first to be rescued by helicopter pilot Prince William after his wedding thanked him yesterday.

He said: “I’m grateful to Prince William and the crew and the member of Llanberis mountain rescue who came to my aid.
“The winchman did a wonderful job, as did the whole helicopter crew. You see all the documentaries and it all looks hair-raising. Until it happens to you, you don’t appreciate their skill and bravery.”
