A new £11 million Help for Heroes centre has been opened by Prince William.

The complex, which includes a state-of-the-art pool and gym facilities, is located at Headley Court in Surrey, the Sun reports.

Its aim is to get the brave troops injured in Iraq and Afghanistan back on their feet at an even quicker rate.

The 27-year-old royal family member, who is a serving RAF helicopter pilot, praised Help for Heroes for their proactive support for the military.

He said the contribution "has made me very, very proud to be British and a member of our Armed Forces".

The Prince described how he and his brother Prince Harry have both been heartened when learning of the work carried out by the charity since its inception two-and-a-half years ago.

Prince Charles recently presented private Sam Morgan, who was injured in Afghanistan, with a medal during a visit to the Black Watch regimental museum at Balhousie Castle in Scotland.
