The Prince and Princess met with Chief Fire &amp; Rescue Officer, Aidan Jennings and learned how the college equips trainees with the skills, resilience and expertise needed to help keep everyone in Northern Ireland safe. Their Royal Highnesses then engaged with two training scenarios: a warehouse space where there was a variety of simulated incidents and drills ongoing, and the flood-water rescue training space to see a simulation of a casualty being rescued from a fast-flowing river. During these scenarios, The Prince and Princess met some of the young, trainee firefighters, as well as those who have already graduated. Picture by Andrew Parsons / Kensington Palace</p>

<p>Commentary.<br />
<br />
A story of rocks, sea, bays for many eons.<br />
Outermost, harder headlands and stacks of Jurassic Portland and Purbeck limestone have resisted the sea’s perpetual pounding.<br />
Where breached, the younger, softer Greensand and Gault Clay has been scoured into a perfect arc.<br />
Waves rolling in on the ubiquitous south-westerly winds<br />
are distorted and condensed in the cove.<br />
In transit, their pattern is distorted within the headlands<br />
to a similar broad curve, further accentuating<br />
the rapid incursions into the softer rocks.<br />
The medium resistance of the Cretaceous Chalk<br />
slows this incursion but where undercut<br />
cliffs collapse, hundreds of tons at a time.<br />
All this geomorphology, geology and <br />
differential erosion is fine, but this place, <br />
first and foremost is a beautiful, sheltered haven,<br />
loved and visited by countless thousands<br />
from within and beyond our magical shores.</p>
