Prince William has given the families of his Army pals killed in combat prime seats at his wedding, reports the Daily Mail.

His training mentor Major Alexis Roberts died in Afghanistan and 2nd Lieutenant Joanna Dyer was killed in Iraq. The wedding guest list includes Alexis's widow Susie and Joanna's sister Holly.

He also invited a Cavalry comrade who suffered terrible burns after he was ambushed in Afghanistan. He will attend the royal wedding with his wife of three years, Michelle, who nursed him back to health as he underwent more than 60 hours of operations.
