A decorated British Army bomb disposal veteran has spoken of his "baptism of fire" when he was sent to clear explosives during the Iraq War.

Twenty years on since the start of the conflict, Major (Ret'd) Chris Hunter shared his experience of the war, including the time he and his team were ambushed and had to fight their way out.

Major Hunter now lives in Iraq and works for a charity clearing improvised bombs left by so-called Islamic State which emerged from the remnants of Al-Qaeda in Iraq in 2004.

He also spoke about his work with the charity and life in Iraq today.
