In pictures: Prince George’s first official royal engagement

<p>Prince George made his first ever official royal engagement last Friday when he visited a Royal Airforce Station in Gloucestershire, England, with his mother and father, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.</p> <p>The two-year-old couldn’t hide his excitement as he toured the station with his parents, as part of the Royal International Air Tattoo, the world’s largest air show. There were 247 different aircrafts on show at the event, which aims to encourage young people to get involved with aviation.</p> <p>Prince William no doubt passed on his knowledge of aircrafts to his son, having graduated from the Royal Air Force in 2010. But it seems no amount of helicopters and planes could keep the Prince from feeling overwhelmed by the occasion, with snaps of him having a little cry before Kate rushed to comfort him, as only a mother knows how.</p> <p>But all in all, George looked like he was having a ball, especially in his baby blue noise-cancelling headphone.</p> <p>The official Kensington Palace Twitter account predicted he would, tweeting: “The @airtattoo is a fantastic family-orientated event. The Duke and Duchess know that George will enjoy seeing the aircraft up close.”</p> <p>Scroll through the gallery above to see Prince George at his first ever official royal engagement.</p> <p><strong>Related links: </strong></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="/lifestyle/family-pets/2016/06/having-a-sibling-makes-boys-selfless/"><em>Having a sibling makes boys selfless</em></a></strong></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="/lifestyle/family-pets/2016/06/sibling-rivalries-in-my-childhood-shaped-who-i-am-today/"><em>Sibling rivalries in my childhood shaped who I am today</em></a></strong></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="/lifestyle/family-pets/2016/05/kids-are-the-worst-instagram/"><em>In pictures: Kids behaving badly</em></a></strong></span></p>
