Prince William attended the event for the newest naval leaders

The Prince of Wales has presided over a passing-out parade at the Royal Navy's officer training college in Devon.

Prince William watched as the newest naval leaders took part in the event at Britannia Royal Naval College Dartmouth.

A total of 202 Royal Navy officer cadets passed out with international recruits from Oman, Kuwait, Bangladesh and Trinidad and Tobago.

The prince is Commander-in-Chief of the Submarine Service.

The former cadets have completed 29 weeks of training at the college, which turns them into junior naval officers.
