Soldiers standing guard outside the Woolwich barracks in London - Two terror suspects are under armed guard in separate hospitals in London after a serving soldier was hacked to death in the street.

Relatives of the dead soldier are believed to have been informed but he has yet to be named. Scotland Yard's police commissioner, Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, confirmed that two men had been arrested.
