Prince Harry performs the haka with New Zealand army

Prince Harry has taken part in a traditional military haka during his tour of New Zealand.

The Prince performed the Maori war dance - best known as the dance performed by New Zealand's international rugby team - at the country's largest army base.

The ceremony was part of a day of activities for Harry at Linton Military Camp, which also included rides in an All Terrain Vehicle and a Light Armoured Vehicle.

He then spent 20 minutes behind closed doors learning a haka before taking part in a display in front of the cameras.

He pulled off his moves with ease - and an intense expression of concentration - and left the hall looking exhausted.

His whistle-stop tour of the camp also saw him help lift a hangi meal from its cooking pit which was then served for lunch.

During the meal he met service personnel and their families who live on the base, including Corporal Jason Storley, who had to have his leg amputated following an incident in the Solomon Islands in 2009 and went on to take part in the Invictus Games.

"He remembered me and wanted to know how I was doing," he said. "He wanted to know how we were and it's amazing he remembered some of us."
