Prince Harry meets Lawrence Dallaglio and other fundraisers at Twickenham Stadium
26th February 2010
Prince Harry met former England rugby union captain Lawrence Dallaglio at London's Twickenham stadium as he took a break from a 2,800km charity bike ride.
The group of cyclists, led by the former rugby hero, are pedalling across Europe on a trek that aims to raise £1million.
They arrived at Twickenham after completing around half of their gruelling journey.
Prince Harry, Vice-Patron of England Rugby Football Union, shared some banter with a group of riders when Dallaglio introduced The Prince to the fundraisers.
The riders are taking part in the Dallaglio Cycle Slam to raise £1million for charity.
The former rugby star and friends are riding to all the stadiums featured in the RBS Six Nations championship, having started in Rome earlier this month and also visited Paris.
Money raised will be donated to Sport Relief and the newly-formed Dallaglio Foundation, whose beneficiaries are Cancer Research, Debra, Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research, Help For Heroes and RPA Benevolent Fund.
Lawrence said: "It's been an amazing journey so far. It's great that Harry is here to support us."
