Britain's Prince William took part in two mountain rescues in the week after his wedding to Princess Catherine.
The Duke of Cambridge returned to his duties as a Royal Air Force (RAF) search-and-rescue helicopter pilot on Wednesday where he took part in missions involving a 70-year-old man and a group of walkers.
According to the Ministry of Defence, William was on board an RAF Sea King helicopter from RAF Valley in Anglesey which airlifted the pensioner - who needed rescuing after having a heart attack - in Snowdonia.
The crew attended to the man 898metres up Lliwedd mountain before taking him to hospital nearby in Bangor and then returning to Snowdon to help four men after one of them suffered vertigo.
William returned to work after a brief honeymoon at an undisclosed location in the UK following his wedding on April 29 although he and his new bride are planning a longer trip in the near future.
A Ministry of Defence spokesman said of his first day back, "It will be a normal day at work for him after the wedding, nothing special planned.
"It's business as usual. He's back to usual RAF working patterns."

The groups, thought to be police officers from the West Midlands and in their 20s, were 1,085 metres up Crib Goch and had to be airlifted from the narrow ridge in an area known as Crib-y-Ddysgyl.
