Throughout the Walk of Britain, the team will be joined by other supporters, with the event raising awareness about the charity’s wider work.
Even though Prince Harry’s beard was popular, the poll found people think he looks three years older with his new facial hair. “They have served their country”.
“People up and down the country will get to see first-hand the determination and resolve of those who have served, and in particular those who have been injured or suffer hidden wounds”, he continued.
