More than 100 recruits to the Brigade of Gurkhas have taken part in a cultural visit to London, the first time many of the men have experienced Britain's capital.

The trip forms an important part of the recruits' training experience, offering them an opportunity to test their ongoing grasp of English and take in some of the city's iconic landmarks.

While on the visit, the soldiers were treated to tea and biscuits with the Speaker of the House of Commons, Sir Lindsay Hoyle.
