AN event was held last night to explain what life in the Army is like.

Invited guests from Stockton and Middlesbrough attended the Field House Hospital, in Stockton, where they were given a presentation.

Colonel Philip King said: "The presentation explained what the Army does and how we prepare for operations.

"It gives members of the public the chance to ask questions to further their knowledge of the Army.

"They are also given the opportunity to meet representatives from the TA.

"It is something we are doing across the whole of the UK."
