If you have been in Cumbria and southern Scotland recently, you can't fail to have noticed a lot of military activity.

Thousands of troops from around the world are taking part in a huge military exercise called Operation Joint Warrior.

Hannah McNulty went to see them in action:

More than 3,000 troops are taking part in "Operation Joint Warrior" in and around Galloway Forest in Dumfriesshire.

A group of British and French paratroopers are also carrying out a parachute drop near to the Braid Fell area.

More than 3,000 troops including British and French paratroopers are taking part in a joint training exercise in the Galloway Forest near Dalbeattie.

It will involve a parachute drop in the Braid Fell area, as well as a substantial amount of fixed wing and helicopter flying.
