England star David Beckham came face-to-face with injured members of the armed forces today – including a Marine dubbed a ‘true hero’ by Prince Harry, after losing an arm and a leg to a Taliban landmine.
Brave Ben McBean was flown back from Afghanistan in March last year on board the same plane as the 24-year-old prince, along with another critically injured solider.
On landing, the humbled Prince, who had served for ten weeks, told interviewers ‘I’m not a hero – these two injured soldiers are the heroes.’
