The British armed forces are to get new body armour and helmets this autumn.

More than 10,000 enhanced Mark 7 helmets and the new Osprey Assault body armour have been ordered.

It is hoped the new lighter kit will go some way to answering soldiers complaints about heavy or ill fitting armour.

Lt Col Matthew Tresidder, chief of staff defence clothing team, and Major Julian Moran, of the Royal Marines, demonstrate the new armour.
