1. An aircraft wing high lift assembly comprising a movable element and a fixed load receiving element including a body portion having a first load receiving region arranged to receive lateral loads from the movable element and to be in sliding contact with the movable element during normal operation of the high lift assembly and including at least one restraining arm projecting from the body portion, said at least one restraining arm having a second load receiving region spaced away from the movable element during normal operation and arranged to support the movable element in sliding contact in the event of a failure within the high lift assembly. 2. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the first and second load receiving regions comprise reduced friction wear pads. 3. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the load receiving element includes two restraining arms arranged such that the second load receiving region of each restraining arm face one another. 4. The assembly of claim 1, wherein a face of the movable element adjacent to the first load receiving region of the load receiving element includes a protruding stop element arranged to abut against the load receiving element and prevent further translation of the movable element in the event of a failure within the high lift assembly. 5. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the assembly comprises two load receiving elements located adjacent opposite faces of the movable element. 6. Apparatus for receiving loads from an aircraft wing high lift assembly having a movable element, the apparatus comprising a body portion having a first load receiving region arranged to receive lateral loads from the movable element of the high lift assembly and to be in sliding contact with the movable element during normal operation of the high lift assembly and at least one restraining arm projecting from the body portion having a second load receiving region spaced away from the movable element during normal operation and arranged to support the movable element of the high lift assembly in sliding contact in the event of a failure within the high lift assembly. 7. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the first and second load receiving regions comprise low friction wear pads. 8. The apparatus of claim 6 comprising two restraining arms projecting from the body portion such that the second load receiving region of each restraining arm faces another. 9. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the first and second load receiving regions are substantially orthogonal to one another.
