Prince William and Prince Harry have lent a hand to try and tackle the flooding.

The brothers helped move sandbags to try and protect a school in Datchet in Berkshire.

Dressed in waterproofs and wellies they both worked from 6am, making a human chain to move the bags from a lorry.

Datchet is one of the worst-hit areas of the UK with flooding across the village.

The stethoscope earpieces are in his ears. He has auburn curly hair piled on top of his head and he is wearing blue/green scrubs with a dark green long-sleeved top underneath. There are surgery lights in the corner of the image and on the right are the words Dexter Procter in the same colour as the scrubs and then the 10 year-old-doctor is written underneath in between heart monitor lines
