Prince Harry has been named Patron of a Mount Everest expedition launched by charity Walking With The Wounded.

The mission sees five injured war veterans attempt to reach the summit, raising money to train and educate those with physical and cognitive injuries suffered in conflict, to aid their transition into employment. The Prince, who already has close links with the charity, said 'The premise is quite simple: a job equals security. They have given their all for our security. Security is the very least as a nation we owe them'.
