The Princess of Wales has got behind the wheel of a Jackal 2 - the British Army's high-mobility weapons platform - during a visit to 1st The Queen's Dragoon Guards.

The vehicle, which weighs seven tonnes and is usually armed with a 7.62mm General Purpose Machine Gun, is designed to protect troops from roadside explosions.

Kate exclaimed "it's really great" after bringing the vehicle to a stop, adding: "It's very responsive actually, given the size of the thing."
