A wing assembly for an aircraft has a wing, a moveable wing tip device and an actuation assembly to move the wing tip device. The actuation assembly is disposed externally of the wing assembly. In a further aspect, the actuation assembly has a first connector member connected externally of the wing assembly at the actuator and pivotably connected at a lower portion of the wing or wing tip. This can facilitate the provision of effective internal supporting structure for transferring flight loads across the interface of the wing and wing tip device, especially in wing assemblies having a high aspect ratio. In a still further 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.
