PRINCE HARRY led tributes last night to two British soldiers killed by roadside blasts in Afghanistan.
Harry described Corporal Liam Riley as a “legend” as he told how he had served with him at a military training unit in Canada in 2007.
Cpl Riley, 21, of 3rd Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment, serving as part of the 1 Coldstream Guards Battle Group, died alongside Lance Corporal Graham Shaw, who turned 27 on Sunday, in two explosions near Malgir, Afghanistan, yesterday morning. The Prince, who spent 10 weeks on the frontline in Afghanistan before being flown home in February, 2008, said: “I remember Liam Riley so well from the time we spent serving together at the British Army Training Unit at Suffield, in Canada. He was a legend.
“A really special man who got us all going and heading in the right direction.
“It is incredibly sad also to hear that Liam died alongside his friend, Lance Corporal Graham Shaw.”
