Britain's Prince Harry was "fantastic from beginning to end" on his South Pole trek.
The flame-haired royal has been praised by the brave soldiers who joined him on the Walking with the Wounded trip in the Antarctic for being a "really strong, fit individual" and spurring them on throughout the 208-mile jaunt, which they completed on December 13.
Amputee Major Kate Philp, 35 - who lost her leg below the knee while serving in Afghanistan in November 2008 - said: "[He was] fantastic from beginning to end, especially considering he hadn't had as many training opportunities because he is so busy, he was a really strong, fit individual.
"Personally speaking, there were a couple of days where I was struggling and he was there every time, at rest breaks, helping me out, buoying me up and pulling me on.
"He was exactly what you would expect from a military man - no airs or graces, he just mucked in with everyone else."
Many soldiers on the trek returned to London's Heathrow today (23.12.13) after getting on a flight from Cape Town in South Africa, but Harry is thought to have flown back yesterday (22.12.13).
The 29-year-old royal also flew out to South Africa separately from the rest of the team.
