An SAS soldier who took part in the Iranian Embassy siege is in the region talking about his role in the dramatic event.

Pete Winner - known as "Soldier I" in the official account of the siege - is helping with an exhibition dedicated to the famous special forces regiment.

Mr Winner also tells how the then Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, responded to the successful mission.

The exhibition - at the Crime Through Time museum in Littledean in the Forest of Dean - charts the history of the regiment and some of its most famous missions.

Pete Winner will also be giving an account of what happened during the siege at a talk in Cinderford next month.
