Prince Harry has laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery on the latest leg of his US tour. The Prince, who has served twice in Afghanistan, was taken around some of the cemetery's 70 sections where military casualties from the US civil war to Afghanistan are buried. He also placed a wreath with a personal note next to the gravestone of Michael L Stansberry Jr, who died in July 2010. Dressed in the uniform of the Blues and Royals, it appeared a sombre and poignant moment for the Apache co-pilot gunner, acutely aware of the sacrifices made in battle. Sky's Royal Commentator Alastair Bruce said: "He knows the nature of how death can impact upon military life while in combat, and how important it is for a nation to mark and respect those that put their lives in danger on behalf of the nation's national interest. "In Arlington, the United States demonstrates exactly that. "Since it started its global war on terror, there have been an enormous number of funerals there, and so many of them associated with the battles that Prince Harry's friends have been involved with too."
