From King to Prince, from father to son, this was a day of symbolic and personal handovers.

After three decades as Colonel-in-Chief, King Charles passed the regimental belt and blew beret to Prince William, marking the moment the role changed hands.

The setting for today's ceremony was by an Apache helicopter, the kind that Prince Harry once flew in Afghanistan.

The King made no mention of that as he met families of the aircrew before speaking about his confidence in William's future role.

威廉王子本人也是一名訓練有素的直升機飛行員，他在換裝後便開始了新的工作，與機組人員會面，其中一些人曾在阿富汗和伊拉克等地參加過戰鬥。

We're extremely fortunate to have the King, then Prince of Wales, as our Colonel-in-Chief, and to see that handed over formally today has been fantastic.

我們非常幸運地請到了國王，也就是當時的威爾士親王擔任我們的上校總司令，今天能看到他正式接任，真是太棒了。

Later, in a pair of twin take-offs, the King left in a royal helicopter whilst Prince William took the front seat of an Apache, the day of transition completed at the home of the Army's Air Regiment.

隨後，國王乘坐皇家直升機離開，威廉王子則坐在阿帕奇直升機的前座，在陸軍航空團的所在地完成了一天的過渡。
