Britons should not let terror fears "stop the British way of life", the head of the UK's armed forces has said.

General Nicholas Houghton said Britain must not "succumb to any sense that there is a terrorist threat" and should carry on as normal.

His comments on BBC One's Andrew Marr show comes in the wake of security being "intensified" at remembrance events in London and the arrests of four terror suspects.

Asked about concerns people may feel about attending services across the country today, he replied: "In an absolutely unreserved way I would say we have just got to keep continuing our normal life.

"The last thing that we at all would want to do is succumb to any sense that there is a terrorist threat there that is at all going to stop the British way of life."
