Prince Harry said, “There’s nothing better than officially opening a building that is very much open. Saturday marks two years since we were last here, and I can’t believe that you’ve managed to turn a World War Two hangar that was pretty cold, pretty dusty, two years ago, into this remarkable experience. Thank you for being able to do that under a huge amount of pressure as well, thank you for providing so many of these opportunities for so many young people. And thank you for really putting a marker down for what British motor racing means to the world, touching on what Lewis said. It’s a long time coming, having walked through it now I am probably going to have to come back to actually really soak up the experience for myself. “
The visit was one of the last official engagements by Prince Harry as he steps back as a senior royal at the end of the month.
