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.
