Earlier today, Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa were on hand to cut some cake (obviously, see above) and thus celebrate the 30th anniversary of Luxembourg Air Rescue. 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.
