The Earl of Wessex is in Milton Keynes and Cambridge today on a number of official engagements, starting at Bletchley Park.
The HRH toured the newly upgraded exhibitions, which celebrate the achievements of code-breakers in World War Two. The site was Britain's main decryption hub during the war, where code-breakers penetrated the secret communications of the Axis Powers, most notably the German Enigma and Lorenz ciphers. Historians say efforts made here by the intelligent forces shortened the war by four years.
The Earl tested out one of the radios used to intercept Morse code signals, before traveling on to several more engagements in Milton Keynes and Cambridge. 📷Image by Jakob Ebrey Photography for the Bletchley Park Trust
