In pictures: William in Caribbean

Prince William has taken part in a Royal Navy hurricane disaster exercise in the Caribbean. The prince - on a five-week navy attachment - was involved in planning the day-long mission.

The exercise tested HMS Iron Duke personnel's response to a category five storm. William led a rescue team on the island of Montserrat dealing with a coach crash in which eight people had been injured.

There was no sign the islanders recognised the junior officer as he directed them during the 90-minute training exercise.

Once the more serious "casualties" were loaded on to local ambulances - trucks painted white - and sent to hospital, William had a calm word for the "injured" left behind.

Sub Lt William Wales was hailed a "natural leader" after completing the mission. William is half way through a five-week navy stint, after the Army officer completed a similar attachment with the RAF.
