The Best Of The Forces: The Mannequin Challenge

Members of Britain's Armed Forces have been joining in the worldwide craze of the Mannequin Challenge.

Started by teenagers in the US, the challenge is a viral video craze where people freeze for the camera, usually while music plays.

So who's best? Here’s a sample.

First up we have the 1st Battalion The Royal Anglian Regiment (The Vikings), holding fire while on exercise.

5 RIFLES, 14 Platoon D Company weren't to be outdone, bringing a tank to the challenge.

Next is the Royal Irish Regiment who took on the challenge with "passion, determination and commitment" and, apparently, "the craic".

The Royal Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment were joined by their motionless horses….

And the iconic Chelsea Pensioners rose to the challenge in the Royal Hospital Chelsea, their home for the past 324 years.

And just one more - the ladies and gentlemen of BFBS Radio also had a pop.
