With all the current furore surrounding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, we look back to a happier day in Sheffield, when the Prince visited the city only eight months before he stepped back from Royal duties.

Prince Harry came to Sheffield on July 25, 2019 to visit the Invictus Games Trials at the English Institute of Sport.
