The head of the British Army is "very honoured" to be carrying the Queen Consort's sceptre during the coronation procession.

General Sir Patrick Sanders will join numerous other military personnel with ceremonial roles at the coronation service.

The Chief of the General Staff told Forces News: "I was very honoured when Her Majesty asked me to carry her sceptre in the procession in Westminster Abbey, and that's on the basis of the very close connection she has with my former regiment the Rifles."
