A Keighley soldier has received an Iraq operational medal from the Prince of Wales.
Sgt Johnathan Rowland -- a Royal Dragoon Guard based in Munster -- was among 31 troopers to be presented with medals.
The prince, the regiment's colonel-in-chief, praised the unit for its efforts in its sixth-month peacekeeping tour around Basrah, which ended in the spring.
Sgt Rowland, 31, a keen motorcyclist whose father lives in Keighley, is married to Nancy and they have a daughter Aimee Nichole.
Since joining the army in 1990 he has also served in Northern Ireland, Poland and Canada.
