A group of wounded Afghanistan veterans has been welcomed by Prince Harry at Buckingham Palace after completing a 1,000-mile UK trek for charity.

Six ex-military personnel have been walking for 72 days since starting the journey in Moray in August.

They have twice been joined by Prince Harry for different sections of the route, and by other wounded personnel.

The challenge was aimed at raising money for the Walking With the Wounded charity.

The charity supports injured members of the armed forces trying to regain their independence through employment. Click link for post from the BBC.

Queen of Jewelry

Brooches, usually worn on the left shoulder, were a favourite for the royal and the Queen was believed to have over 100 in her collection. A selection that would go with an outfit were presented to her - usually three at a time - by her senior dresser and confidante Angela Kelly on special trays that once belonged to Queen Mary. The royal had a wide variety of different brooches which she often wore with her usual pearl earrings and necklace, including a spray of flowers brooch by the people and government of Australia during her Coronation tour of 1954./
