Prince Harry has paid tribute to the bravery of fellow soldiers calling his experience 'humbling'.

Frustrated to be home and hoping to return to Afghanistan very soon, Prince Harry has insisted he's not a hero.

But although he expressed his desire to be back in action, senior defence chiefs hinted a return to the front line was highly unlikely.

Tonight Channel 4 News was told the Taliban knew Harry was in Helmand province and wanted to capture, if not kill him.

So what will be Prince Harry's a future role?
