PTSD charity fails to include suffering former soldiers to glitzy event
Combat Stress criticised for charging £99 for tickets to its Veterans Mental Health conference and ignoring soldiers while inviting royalty

A POLICE convoy whisked Prince Harry past ex-soldiers waving placards as he arrived at a high-profile veterans’ mental health conference.

Former soldiers suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) said today that they were being sidelined by event organisers who did not invite them to speak about their ordeals.
