Sir Winston Churchill's uniforms go on display

Uniforms and clothing worn by Sir Winston Churchill are on display at his country residence in Kent, many for the first time.

Six of his most notable outfits are fitted to mannequins matched to his measurements in the newly restored Uniform Room at Chartwell, in Westerham.

The items of clothing document the former prime minister's evolving roles, from his Privy Council tailcoat worn in 1907 to the siren suit and ten-gallon hat during the Second World War.

Churchill: Image and Power is open until Chartwell closes for winter conservation work on 2 November.
