The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge met frontline workers from the Scottish Ambulance Service as they began their tour of the country on the royal train.

William and Kate met the ambulance staff in Newbridge, near Edinburgh, during their first engagement after they set off on their 1,250-mile morale-boosting trip.

They also visited Holy Trinity First School in Berwick-upon-Tweed, where they thanked teachers for their efforts to support learning during the coronavirus crisis before heading to Yorkshire to meet volunteers who had helped elderly members of their community.
