The final weekend of TA Live took place at Croydon’s Whitgift Shopping Centre on Saturday.
Advertisements were aired live from military operations in Afghanistan as part of a new campaign to encourage people to join the Territorial Army.
Uniformed representatives from units based in Croydon spoke to the public about their experiences.
Major General Ranald Munro, Deputy Commander Land Forces (Reserves) said: “There has never been an advertising campaign like this.
“TA LIVE is an incredibly exciting opportunity to bring the TA to life and show just what a TA soldier does on the ground.
“We think this is a great way to demonstrate and educate the public about the role of the TA and the vital contribution they make to the UK Armed Forces.”
