Duke and Duchess of Cambridge
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will visit the Royal New Zealand Police College tomorrow (16.04.14).
Prince William, joined by his wife Duchess Catherine, is scheduled to walk the grounds of the facility in Porirua - which was opened by his father the Prince of Wales over 30 years ago - as part of their 10 day tour of New Zealand.
Commissioner Mike Bush told The New Zealand Herald newspaper: "We have much to be proud of in New Zealand police and it is a great honour and privilege to host the Duke and Duchess."
Serving members of the No25 HRH Prince of Wales Cadet Wing, who participated in the opening of the college on April 1, 1981, will be in attendance tomorrow (16.04.14).
Some of the very same cadets delivered a gym display involving tossing telephone poles, forming a human pyramid and strength and agility tests while balancing on a beam during the ceremony in 1981, but the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are to be presented with more modern displays of policing.
Superintendent Barry Taylor, who participated in the visit by Prince Charles, said: "I remember that day very clearly and the pride which our cadet wing all felt ... I'm looking forward to seeing the Duke and Duchess, but I must say I'm glad we don't have to do a repeat of that gym routine we put on for the Prince of Wales."
