A PRESENTATION was staged by the Army in Darlington last night.

The evening was held at Hall Garth Country Club Hotel and was hosted by the region's most senior Army officer, Brigadier Richard Dennis, Commander of 15 (North-East) Brigade.

The presentation, including a question time, aimed to outline what the Army does and why - and its role in an ever-changing world.

The presentation team's commander and presenter, Colonel Andy Bristow, said: "We wanted to ensure that people in Darlington left our presentation with a greater appreciation of the role of the Army in defending the UK's interests worldwide."
