Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visit hospital on NHS anniversary

The Duke and Duchess met heroes at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, in King's Lynn, Norfolk, on Sunday.

The royals had earlier privately marked the Clap For Carers at 5pm, a palace spokesman said.

In their first joint engagement since post-lockdown they met staff and volunteers in a marquee set up with tables and party balloons -  marking 40 years of the hospital.

The party was to celebrate birthdays for both the hospital and foundation of the NHS.
