An Army recruit has died while undergoing training at a centre in Surrey.

An spokesperson for the British Army said: “We can confirm that a recruit has died while undergoing initial training at the Army Training Centre (ATC) Pirbright.

"The incident is being investigated and it would not be appropriate to comment further at this time. We offer our condolences to the family and ask that you respect their privacy while they come to terms with their sudden loss.”
