The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arriving in Lahore at the start of The Day

A Royal Air Force plane carrying The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge aborted a landing in Pakistan after being caught in a severe thunderstorm.

The RAF Voyager twice tried to land in Islamabad - at Rawalpindi air base and the main airport - before returning to Lahore , from where they had departed.

Prince William and Catherine are on a four-day official visit to Pakistan.

The aircraft was on a 25-minute journey but stayed in the air for More Than two hours due to the thunder and lightning.

A passenger described The Incident as a "pretty serious storm" and the turbulence on The Flight as a "rollercoaster".

Another passenger said: "The plane was making large jerking movements as we tried to battle through The Wind . "

The plane shook and bucked

By BBC royal correspondent Jonny Dymond

The first sign of any trouble was a delay, then an announcement - the Royal Flight back from Lahore to Islamabad would wait for storms above the capital to clear.

Then there was a Descent - and steadily building turbulence. Quite a bit of turbulence. Seat belt signs went on, the plane pulled up. Some calm returned.

Then came a second attempt at landing; This Time the plane shook, bucked and fell in the stormy air; seasoned flyers on board were gripping armrests and the seats in front of them.

But after the aborted landing Prince William was in good spirits and joked about The Flight .
