Published: 21 October 2005

Under the Royal Prerogative, the power to declare war or commit British forces to military operations is vested in the Prime Minister.

But the monarch would not give up the power to make war and therefore this is now vested in the Prime Minister.

Mr Bernard Herz-berg, 96, has been revealed as England's oldest student. Remarkable.
