TA soldiers wear uniforms to work 
A series of events are taking place this year to mark the centenary of the TA
Territorial Army soldiers from across the UK have been arriving at their day jobs in their military uniforms.
Uniform to Work Day celebrates 100 years of the TA and is designed to make the contribution of the part-time force more visible.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown is holding a reception at 10 Downing Street to mark the day.
A series of events taking place to celebrate the centenary included a pageant in central London last month.
Uniform to Work Day organiser Col Alastair Bruce said: "We are encouraging those TA soldiers who wish to be involved to arrange with their employer to go to work at their civilian jobs in Army uniform.
"This will remind the public that the Territorial Army is 'among us' in society.
"But perhaps more importantly we want to encourage public affirmation, recognition and understanding of the remarkable work these people undertake as volunteers."
Anita Newcourt, who will be wearing her uniform, said she hoped the day would raise awareness of the TA's role.
She told BBC News: "I think the public are beginning to see what the TA do and beginning to understand how vital we are as part of the British army.
"Fifteen thousand people have been deployed as part of the TA out to Afghanistan and Iraq and those people have come back to their communities and are talking about their experiences."
