My watch is ended: British Army chief explains decision to step down

The head of the British Army has quoted Game of Thrones to explain why he is leaving his role because his "watch is ended", adding that he has loved every minute of the job.

As part of an exclusive interview with Forces News, the Chief of the General Staff, General Sir Patrick Sanders, said he was "handing over something that is a going concern and sometimes that's the right time".

"Because my watch is ended, to quote a bit of Game of Thrones," he explained, referring to Jon Snow leaving the Night's Watch and handing over his title of Lord Commander in the hit HBO series.
