    In pictures

    Superstar footballer David Beckham flew to Afghanistan on an RAF C-17 aircraft - though he is undoubtedly used to a bit more on board luxury.

    Beckham started his day with breakfast in the cookhouse before taking part in a Q&A session with troops and visiting the camp's hospital. He also got up close and personal with some of the ammunition.

    The 35-year-old former England captain spent a good part of the day at Camp Bastion in Helmand having his picture taken and signing autographs.

    The nation's sweetheart - Senior Aircrafts Man SAC Madeline Rowe looks very pleased to have bagged a picture with Beckham.

    Beckham paid tribute to the troops in Afghanistan, admitting: "I've represented my country many times on the field, but what these guys do representing our country is really amazing."
