A wing assembly 3 for an aircraft has a wing 9, a movable wing tip device 6 and an actuation assembly 700 to fold the wing tip device between a flight configuration, increasing the wing span, and a ground position, reducing the span. The actuation assembly is disposed externally of the wing assembly. The actuation assembly comprises an actuator 701 and a connector arrangement. The connector arrangement may comprise a first connector 710 comprising first and second portions 711, 712, the first portion pivotably connected at the actuator and the second portion connected at a lower portion of the wing or wing tip device, and a second connector 720 interconnected between the actuator and the other of the whing or wing tip device. In another aspect, the wing assembly has a seal extending chordwise within the wing assembly, for resisting passage of air through an interface region between the wing and the wing tip device.
