The youngster was then spotted affectionately brushing raindrops off his father's shoulder.

Prince William turned towards his son and appeared to give him a tap on the leg.

Louis then said to William “Wasn't this supposed to be fun” and his dad replied “It is son".

The dad-of-three also said "you will never forget this" before explaining how the parade will work.

"They will come along here, and then go towards there, and then we will make our way back," he said.

He added: "It's not going to be long and I want you to be taking an interest.

Prince George, 11, chimed in: “I’ve got something in my eye.”

The professional lip reader also shared a sweet message from Princess Kate.

"That’s wonderful to know," he answered.

Meanwhile, during the flypast, The Sun's lip reader told how King Charles exclaimed: "Oh look! Oh look. Look at those flags."

Prince William and George also discussed the aircraft together in a sweet bonding moment.

Looking up Wills asked: “Do you know what it is?”

George responded: “No I think it’s the...typhoon but it has four engines."

"Ahh, okay," said his proud dad.

Wills also pointed out another plane, to which Louis shouted: “That’s my favourite."

Prince William explained to George it has a V8" to which the youngster said "the noise is very loud".

It comes as the family joined King Charles and Queen Camilla to watch the poignant parade with thousands along The Mall today.

Princess Anne was also spotted arriving at the ceremony by car, as were Prince Edward and his wife Sophie.

Troops paraded along Whitehall and The Mall, in front of thousands of fans, members of the royal family, veterans, and senior officials.
