Prince Harry returns home after ten weeks in Afghanistan amid claims the Taliban have known of his presence for weeks.

Meanwhile, PR guru Max Clifford says he was never allowed near any real danger, labelling his tour of duty a "PR exercise".

Harry's father the Prince of Wales was there to greet him, along with his brother William.

Prince Charles said he was incredibly proud of his son and it was a great relief to see him home in one piece. But he also spoke of Harry's frustration at the fact that his deployment was cut short.
