Following a wreath-laying ceremony in the morning, Prince William and Kate Middleton took part in their second engagement in New Zealand on April 10, as part of their three-week tour of the country and neighboring Australia.
Shortly after noon, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge travelled to the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre, where they viewed an aircraft exhibition and flight display.
As William, 31, and Kate, 32, arrived at the Knights of the Sky exhibition by Sir Peter Jackson, they were greeted by the "Lord of the Rings" director himself who had the honor of showing their Royal Highnesses around.
Kate, who wore a cornflower blue Alexander McQueen coat dress, waved to the crowds as she got out of the car alongside William.
While Prince George was not in attendance, William and Kate were allegedly presented with a specially designed small vintage helmet for their firstborn, which featured a little possum design and leather lining, and added to the large collection of gifts that George had already been given from previous engagements.
William, who was formerly an RAF search and rescue pilot at Anglesey, looked particularly thrilled to view the outstanding display of World War One aircraft. The Duke happily talked and inspected the aircraft while Kate seemed just as intrigued as she soaked in the museum's highlights.
Once outside, William took the opportunity to climb into one of the planes as Kate proudly watched on.
Their Royal Highnesses stayed at the aviation centre for about an hour before they headed back to catch their flight to Wellington.
