Prince William surprises Rob Burrow and Kevin Sinfield with CBEs

The Prince of Wales has surprised rugby league legends Rob Burrow and Kevin Sinfield by awarding them with their CBEs during a meeting in Leeds.

Prince William met the pair at Headingley Stadium - the home of Leeds Rhinos and where both men used to play.

Burrow and Sinfield were awarded CBEs in the New Year Honours list for their motor neurone disease fundraising.

The pair have raised more than £15m for charities since Burrow was diagnosed with the disease in 2019.
