Prince William and David Beckham were among the stars who turned out in London last night to salute the bravery of British soldiers.
The footballer took two of his sons, Brooklyn and Romeo, to The Sun newspaper's annual Military Awards at the Imperial War Museum, which recognises the contributions of troops.
David applauded Flight Lieutenant Mike Anderson, who won the Most Outstanding Airman prize for enduring a gun and mortar attack to reach six Afghan children, saying: "Everyone is very proud of the guys who put their lives on the line for their country. It's a great night to honour the brave."
Prince William's wife Kate Middleton was moved to tears by the soldiers' stories, while her husband told Sergeant Ryan McCready the recipient of the the Most Outstanding Soldier award: "This is a truly well deserved award. Sgt McCready, you exemplify to an extraordinary degree the unique qualities that make the British soldier second to none: courage, steadfastness, professionalism, sense of humour and a deep humanity."
Other guests who attended the event included Gordon Ramsay and Frank Lampard and his girlfriend Christine Bleakley.
