ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)

STORY: Prince Harry attended the River and Rowing Museum on Monday (March 10) in Henley-on-Thames in Oxfordshire.

He met members of the Row2Recovery crew of wounded and able-bodied servicemen who rowed 3000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean in January to raise money for the charity, Help for Heroes.

This isn't the first time Prince Harry has talked to this team as he called them from his South Pole expedition to wish them luck before they set off on their voyage.

Row2recovery is a Henley-based charity which supports the development of military para-rowing in partnership with British Rowing.

The charity is supported by the Endeavour Fund, created by the Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry.

The Prince is backing a move to encourage more wounded veterans to take up rowing.
