Prince Shows Support For Soldiers
Prince William showed his support for wounded British soldiers by attending a fundraising dinner in aid of health charities.
He wore a Help The Heroes coloured wristband as he mingled with guests at the Guild Hall in central London.
The £2 wristbands were launched last October to raise £5m to help build a swimming pool and gym complex at Headley Court, the tri-service rehabilitation centre in Surrey.
The event was attended by celebrities such as Sir David Frost, Carol Vorderman and Henry Kelly.
William, 25, is patron of the appeal launched by the current Mayor of the City of London, David Lewis, who has chosen health charity Wellbeing of Women and Orbis, an international sight-saving organisation to benefit from his appeal.
The Prince said he was delighted to become patron of the initiative and added: "Becoming involved in this way is particularly special for me because of the past association and commitment of my mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, to Wellbeing of Women."
The Prince flew to Afghanistan on a secret mission with the RAF earlier this week.
He accompanied a dead soldier's body when he returned in a military plane.
