► The Duke of Sussex met young rugby players when he visited a secondary school to mark a major milestone for a Rugby World Cup legacy scheme to get more children playing the sport.

Passionate rugby fan Harry visited Lealands High School in Luton to mark it becoming the 750th to join the Rugby Football Union (RFU) All Schools programme.

The duke watched about 60 students from five local schools take part in touch rugby games and skills sessions before speaking to some of them and their teachers.

The All Schools programme was launched in 2012 as a Rugby World Cup 2015 legacy initiative to increase the number of state secondary schools playing rugby union and aimed to introduce 750 additional schools to the game.
