UK - London 2012 Olympics - British soldier on security duty

A portrait of a Lance Corporal in the Rifles regiment of the British army next to the Olympic rings logo before the start of the canoe slalom heats at the Lee Valley White Water Centre, north east London, on day 3 of the London 2012 Olympic Games. A total of 18,000 defence personel were called upon to make the Games secure following the failure by security contractor G4S to provide enough private guards. The extra personnel have been drafted in amid continuing fears that the private security contractor's handling of the £284m contract remains a risk to the Games.
