This evening, the Grand Duke and the Grand Duchess looking très chic in white took part in the 25th anniversary celebrations of the Luxembourg Air Rescue at the Philharmonie Luxembourg also known as Salle de concerts grande-duchesse Joséphine-Charlotte.

Founded against political opposition and facing financial hurdles in 1988, the Air Rescue is now an important part of Luxembourg's emergency services. The Air Rescue is a private humanitarian organisation saving lives in the Grand Duchy itself, the Greater Region surrounding it and around the world as they participate in disaster relief operations. The Air Rescue Luxembourg also performs the transport of organs for the whole of France.

More photos of tonight's event are available at Wort in German and on the website of the cour.
