British Army's airborne rapid reaction force shows off weapons & vehicles on parade

16 Air Assault Brigade, the British Army's airborne rapid reaction force, has paraded through Colchester, Essex, with some troops marching in battledress and carrying weapons – including a Javelin anti-tank missile.

The parade was part of celebrations in the run-up to Armed Forces Day on Saturday and it was the first time the soldiers have exercised their freedom of Colchester since it gained city status last year.

Vehicles used on operations were also part of the parade on Thursday which was watched by crowds in the middle of the city centre.
