It's sandbags at dawn for Princes William and Harry as the two royals have joined the flood relief effort to lay sandbags in Datchet.
Go Team Royal!
The pair secretly joined members of Harry's Household Cavalry regiment, and have been working since 6am to help homeowners protect their properties with sandbags. They wanted to keep their trip a secret because they feared their arrival would distract from the crisis.
A royal aide said: "This is not something they wanted publicised and it was only decided on Wednesday night.
"They were very keen to help with the flood relief effort and thought that joining the military would be the best way."
When Harry was asked by a reporter if he was enjoying helping out, he replied: "Not really, with you guys around."

As well as the royal brothers, The Queen has also lent a hand to the victims of the flooding.
A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: "The Queen is supporting Somerset farmers affected by the flooding on the Somerset Levels by contributing feed and bedding from the royal farms at Windsor."
