Who could be the next head of the British Army?

Appointing Lieutenant General Sharon Nesmith as the next chief of the British Army would send out a "fantastic signal", a military expert has said.

Lieutenant General Sharon Nesmith, the first female Army officer to hold that rank and the highest-ranked female officer in British Army history, has been tipped to become the next Chief of the General Staff, replacing General Sir Patrick Sanders, who is set to leave the role next year.

Expert Louise Jones said Lt Gen Nesmith has a "formidable record" and appointing her Chief of the General Staff would be "interesting" due to her career path.
