PRINCE Harry celebrated in style by sampling the nightlife in west Wiltshire to mark the end of a five-week stay in Warminster.

The third in line to the throne has been based at Battlesbury Barracks in Boreham Road while completing an Army training course.

The 21-year-old, known for his love of partying, sampled a range of nightspots on Thursday night, even indulging in some strawberry and vanilla vodka shots in one pub.

The night started with a meal with 28 course mates, including bodyguards, then the group went on to a pub for a few beers and shots before ending up in Trowbridge nightclub, Just So in Castle Street.

Graham Mehta, 36, manager of The Mill at Rode, said: "He came here for a meal with his mates - we didn't know it was him at first.

"Our barman thought he was a lookalike - then they called him Harry and the penny dropped."

Harry spent two and a half hours chatting to friends over a meal of autumn vegetable soup and baked chicken with lentils and left staff at the restaurant a handsome tip.

Mr Mehta said: "They left a good amount of notes - all with his grandmother's face on them.

"They were all very charming and witty - we'd have them back anytime."

The group then moved on to JB's pub in Warminster for a few pints of Fosters and some vodka shots.

Oliver Clark, barman, said: "He had one of our Twisties which is a strawberry and vanilla vodka shot. There was a big group of them, and two bodyguards - they seemed very pleasant. Not many people noticed them at first - I didn't recognise him to begin with.

"He did get charged twice to come in though - one of his friends paid for him and then he paid too."

The group then went up to Trowbridge to Just So nightclub where they have recently installed fingerprint identification for entry into the club.

Prince Harry was based in Warminster for five weeks as part of his training to become an officer in the Household Cavalry.

Prince William has joined the same regiment as Prince Harry and will be in Warminster next year to do the same course to become an armoured reconnaissance troop leader.
