Three members of armed forces collapse in 30C heat during parade

The Prince of Wales has paid tribute to soldiers who took part in a military parade on Saturday in near-30C temperatures in London.

At least three troops appeared to faint in the hot weather during the Colonel’s Review at Horse Guards Parade, with William acknowledging the “difficult conditions”.

In a tweet he said: “A big thank you to every solider who took part in the Colonel’s Review this morning in the heat. Difficult conditions but you all did a really good job. Thank you. W.”
