Extra armed police are being deployed to the streets of London after recent terror attacks in Europe.
They'll be stationed at busy locations and well-known landmarks to reassure the public and also deter would-be attackers.
London's Metropolitan Police has been increasing the number of armed officers it has available up to nearly 3000.
The UK's terror threat level is at 'severe' which means an attack is thought to be 'highly likely'.
Met Police chief Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe says extra armed police is a sensible response to recent events.
